This commit introduces a new command verb "collect", which basically passes its arguments to a function which can be defined by the user. Per default, the new command passes its arguments to `delve-insert-nodes-by-id' if the package `Delve' is present. Also rewrites the command dispatcher so that it uses the more idiomatic pcase statement. Aside from being nicer to read, pcase allows us to introduce more complex command patterns if simple one word strings won't suffice.

Thank you for putting this together! I'm pretty busy with other things atm so I haven't been able to try and implement it yet, but I think I'll be able to next week or so! |

This is the proposed change for adding a "collection" function, the elisp-side. It introduces one new command verb, "collect", which is handeld in
org-roam-ui--on-msg-collect-node.Sorry for also merging the latest commits from the main branch before doing the PR, my changes are in the first commit.
I did not add yet anything for gathering the possible list of collections. There's a decision to be made. Currently, I see two possibilities: (a) just offer a list of open buffers holding collections; that would be simply a call to
delve-buffer-list. (b) More powerful, offer a list of open buffers and a list of files. If the user chooses a file, it will be loaded into a buffer on the fly. That's what `Delve' does. I would have to write a function which offers that functionality.I think (b) is more powerful and simply better, but it could mean that the web menu will offer quite a bit of choices. So that's mainly what was holding me back. If there's an elegant solution for that problem, I would adopt for (b). Maybe we could first use (a) and then solve (b) by only offering the last 5 recently used collections, or something like that.
Another thing: Currently "collecting" nodes adds the nodes in the background, leaving the current window configuration in Emacs as it is. That might be unitintuitive and could be turned into an option.
