It's frustrating when autocompletion doesn't work in a shell.
Describe the solution you'd like
Simple option: add entries to XDG_DATA_DIRS.
Complicated option: make nix shell use stdenv, which can take care of this logic, at the cost of a Nixpkgs dependency.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Write GUIs for everything that shouldn't have a GUI.
Additional context
Completions are available for derivation-based shells since NixOS/nixpkgs#103501
nix-shell also needs adjustment, see #4452
