Suggestion: support finding references in MDX about knip HOT 3 CLOSED

There's a built-in compiler for MDX files, but it's currently limited to being auto-enabled only if @mdx-js/mdx or astro is in the list of dependencies (source code).

I guess we can add a dependency to the list of "enablers" here. What should that be? Some Storybook plugin?

To enable it today (without waiting for a fix in v4). In Knip v3, this was how you had to add it explicitly, and this should still work in v4:

https://knip.dev/v3/features/compilers#mdx

You can use any MDX compiler instead of the suggested one in the example (or even a regex like the other examples on the same page). Or copy the regex from Knip source code.

It looks like Storybook supports MDX without the need of any subpackage, so the dependency to add could just be storybook.

Going to close this one:

• the mdx compiler is auto-activated if @mdx-js/mdx or astro is listed
• Writing stories directly in MDX was removed in Storybook 8

There's still the option to use different/custom compiler.
