Linkified split view pointing to https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/WebExtensions/Working_with_the_Tabs_API#working_with_tab_split_views in some cases.

I have not requested to expand that article with a mention of tab groups, since that documentation dos not exhaustively list every API that could move tabs (e.g. windows.create with tabId is not mentioned either), and "when someone moves a tab in a split" can already be interpreted to include grouping/ungrouping of tabs IMO.
