we initially started to look at how we handle the collapsed zero-blank state for strings, monolingual text, etc. and for those cases we designed a bespoke solution.

so, we explored how might it be to have a similar bespoke approach for function calls to.

while this approach might work for the function selection, it doesn't when there are multiple empty fields. so here it comes a proposal: what if we use the same function call collapse view, but with red "links" for the empty fields. where the link label is the placeholder text of the empty field/s?

also, by tap/click on a red "link" we could then redirect contributions to the specific missing field, in the expanded view.

what do you all think of such approach? any doubts, or concerns?
