+         We can't use any references in the Avalonia.Designer.HostApp. Including even json.
+         Ideally we would prefer Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyModel package, but can't use it here.
+         So, instead we need to fallback to some JSON parsing using pretty easy regex.
+         
+         Json part example:
+"Avalonia.Xaml.Interactions/11.0.0-preview5": {
+  "dependencies": {
+    "Avalonia": "11.0.999",

+      "assemblyVersion": "11.0.0.0",
+      "fileVersion": "11.0.0.0"
+    }
+  }
+},
+        We want to extract "lib/net6.0/Avalonia.Xaml.Interactions.dll" from here.
+        No need to resolve real path of ref assemblies.
+        No need to handle special cases with .NET Framework and GAC.
