The Earth is full of so many metals and heavy elements, this region of space must have experienced supernovae or neutron star collisions or any of a number of astronomical phenomena. Has anyone ever attempted to figure out what must have happened in the past to build our Solar System in exactly this way?

Yes. Because of all the heavier elements present in the sun and the planets we are quite sure that the solar system is at least a second generation star and probably even a third generation star formed from the remnants of a previous star or several stars. We don’t know much of anything about the previous stars.
