Requesting new programmatic APIs of Local History in Timeline feature

[magician-margatroid]

Hi, I'm developing a form-based JSON Editor extension and want to utilize the builtin timeline feature of VSCode.

My initiative is to provide a custom view on it, not file-based but parsed-objects-based (In the JSONs, there're many domain-specific models). Since the local history of timeline by VSCode has already been excellent and I may not re-invent the wheels from scratch.

I did some searching and found the following Doc and APIs. But excuse me I wasn't able to find stable APIs to accomplish the following user story.

As a developer of JSON Editor extension, I'd like to:

• Call an API to get the list of the local history in form of structured data for a specific TextDocument.
• Call an API to make some queries on the local history, e.g., fetch last 10 items of them for a specific TextDocument.
• Call an API to CRUD an entry with parameters supplied programmatically (In UI perspective, it's silent mode and non-interruptive).
• Have the chance to subscribe to local history events of a specific TextDocument, e.g., new entries of it have been created.

Thanks for your ideas.
Best Regards
