does not support relative path support for typescript baseUrl or Paths

[gautamsi]

• Add tsconfig.json option for baseUrl or paths option, for example "baseUrl": "./src" or "paths": {"@/*", "./src/*"}
• import anything using the aliases
  it breaks with module not found error

Expected to work without issue

I see that the esbuild custom plugin to blame here which excludes anything not starting with . as external.

I have came across this page: https://janessagarrow.com/blog/typescript-and-esbuild/ which has example using package.json dependencies as external.
I have tried it and that works with @manypkg/find-root. I had to get the package.json dependencies and mark them external rather than the custom plugin. I prefer using find-root instead of just getting cwd+package.json in getEsbuildConfig, this enable use case where keystone cli is used from within another package.

if interested, I can add example here.

Also found some example to achieve this as evanw/esbuild#619 (comment)

I started a similar discussion about this a couple months ago.

Something akin to Next.js's transpilePackages feature might work well, but I think the main difficulty is how to actually specify said configuration, given that the entire Keystone configuration currently lives in the file that gets transpiled.
