Add new cell type for Cypher that mirrors what SQL cells can do

[johnstegeman]

Description

For people who work with property graph databases that support the Cypher query language, it would be nice to have a new type of cell to support working with those databases. Neo4j, for example, has a python driver as well as a python library for visualizing the graphs returned by such queries. The cell could have an option to return a dataframe or a widget for visualization.

Suggested solution

I have a working prototype of this capability devloped with the help of claude code.

I'm not certain we want to open up multiple different cell types yet- something we'd definite need to discuss a bit more- seems like a large can of works.

Would it be possible to register a cypher driver and maybe we have the return type render as a graph?
I'm not suggesting a solution just trying to spark discussion ! What would a specific cell type get you that a sql cell doesn't already?

Moving over to a discussion for now
