Support autocomplete (tags style) widget

Created on 9 October 2023, 9 months ago

Problem/Motivation

Drupal core has a widget "Autocomplete (tags style)", that, from a user perspective, behaves similar to slim_select, but:
- It does not load all the terms at once, instead it fetches them with ajax. Therefore it scales better to large numbers of terms.
- It does not have the nice decorations of slim_select.

Steps to reproduce

Proposed resolution

Explore if any of this is possible:
Support slim_select for autocomplete (tags style) widget,
OR
Create a new widget which uses slim_select + ajax.

If not, we might look for a different js library.
I think it is a good idea to provide a similar UX for term reference fields with many referenceable terms.
