Inter-compatibility with Google Colab Forms

[apolinario]

Problem

If one alternates between Google Colab and a local environment, the Google Colab Form syntax is not available on JupyterLab
https://colab.research.google.com/notebooks/forms.ipynb

Proposed Solution

Either natively or a plugin/extension that could support the same syntax that Colab uses for its forms

Additional context

I don't know how useful that is, but the code Colab uses for orchestrating its forms seems to be this one: https://colab.research.google.com/v2/external/external_polymer_binary.js

@apolinario Thanks for your interest in JupyterLab. This feature seems like a specific use case which is a good idea for a 3rd party extension. This is not something that JupyterLab expects to add to it's core extensions. Here is the Extension Developer Guide to help you get started with creating this extension. Contributions by other community members are also welcome!
