Cannot go to sources of exception stack trace

Issue Type: Bug

Let's imagine some hypothetical bad code that resulted in exception either because bad or unfamiliar third-party libraries and focus on speed of issue resolution:

import pandas as pd
pd.DataFrame(42)

Upon executing this, we get an exception. As professional IDE user, I expect a consistent behavior and exception stack trace rendered like a normal stack trace - something compact, with clickable lines, that get me to correct lines of code, causing the error. I do not want to open search bar in the project, then figure out that this is not the error in the project i'm working on, but rather in third-party dependency, because that way i have to go, figure out where the sources of that dependency are, open another editor, find references, etc etc. I also really don't want to see the same exception message for 3 times. Practically speaking, we can make hiding of stack traces as opt-out feature. If make with bottom-right notifications popup - even better :)

VSCode has a nice stack trace rendering widget in debug mode, so that one could be just re-used in this beautiful extension, so that I'd see consistent UX across different parts of the editor for the same type of things.

Thanks for the feedback @nfx. Possible dupe of microsoft/vscode-jupyter#4589

Most likely this need to be transferred to https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-jupyter
