@roblourens : Could you please explain the preview functionality bit more with screenshots of Chrome?
I am new to open source community and this project.
I use vscode often and would love to work on this if someone can guide me a little.

Lower left corner of the Chrome window when I hover the link to your name:

But I think a normal tooltip would be easier.

Ah yes. I understand what you are talking about now. To verify, where the link is leading to.
Seems like a beginner friendly feature. I can pick it up this weekend if anyone can nudge me towards the right direction. :)

Sorry for the delayed response.

It seems that tooltips are only shown if the element has a title attribute, but not for links that only have a href. I wasn't able to find if there is an electron setting to enable tooltips for links without titles. I think we may have to implement this ourselves.

To get started, take a look at this PR that added a similar feature to another electron app: brave/browser-laptop#625

Here's where our webview code lives: https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/blob/master/src/vs/workbench/parts/html/browser/webview.ts I believe you should be able to attach a update-target-url handler to the webview handler.

Please let me know if you have any questions about the code or want to discuss potential designs

I m happy to receive help! :)
I was facing issues while trying to build and fiddle around with the source code.
Will definitely look into this PR and the code you pointed out this weekend.
Thanks for taking your time to post this info.
I ll post any questions or designs which I have.

Hi @mjbvz , I will create a PR to add title attribute to every <a>.

For verification: this was implemented as tooltip when you hover over links in a webview
