Proactively support missing package installation #13547

Context

@rodrigosf672 's idea.

Today if you import a package that isn't installed and then run the code, you will see an error message and then you have to manually install the package. Some users, i.e. students, may benefit from installation via the packages pane UI.

We do not offer any help to:

  • surface the packages pane
  • easily install the package
  • display available versions

Acceptance Criteria

Potential ideas

  1. Add an install package button to the console and notebook/quarto output which surfaces the packages pane installation flow
    Example

  1. Add some tooltip next to a package that is imported in code by not available so that a user can click on the tooltip with a button to install
