Description
Problem
Without user intent you cannot switch to a different tab
https://aws.github.io/mynah-ui/api-doc/classes/MynahUI.html#selectTab
Using mynah-ui in vs code extension there is not currently available a good way to have a notification callback command select a tab if many are open and the responding message is not in the currently focused tab
User Story: If i have many tabs in the mynah chat in vs code open, and one that receives a response that generates a vs code notification, i would like to be able to click the notification and refocus on said tab
Expected behavior
Add setFocusTab as a public member of mynah class that can deterministically set focus on the specific tab without having an eventId (it can generate one) retaining eventId as private generated id
