Description

When calling a macro pkg.@macro the cell is reactive to import pkg.

julia> Pluto.ReactiveNode("pkg.@macro").references
Set{Symbol} with 1 element:
  Symbol("pkg.@macro")

julia> Pluto.ReactiveNode("pkg.function").references
Set{Symbol} with 1 element:
  :pkg

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how macro calls are parsed in Pluto's reactive expression analysis. Compare the handling of macro calls (e.g., pkg.@macro) with function calls (e.g., pkg.function) to find where the normalization to the module symbol is missing.
