+You can also use the variable substituion `${command:pickProcess}` to select a

We might also want to document the behavior in combination with `program`.

(Don't actually remove the three backticks, as in the suggestion below. There seems to be no way to have three backticks in a code suggestion on Github)

```suggestion
  "program": "/path/to/executable"
  "pid": "${command:pickProcess}"
}

The `program` name above is optional. If specified, `pickProcess` will filter the list of available process based on the program name. If absent, `pickProcess` will offer a list of all processes running on the system.
