Description
Describe the feature/enhancement you need
Currently there is no easy way we have found to map the tab ids returned by chrome.tabs.query and similar chrome extension APIs to WebView2 instances in our native app tabs. That is, we have no way to know what tab is being referenced in our app when chrome.tabs.query returns "tabId = 1". A way to either find the current tab id of a WebVIew2 instance, or a way to provide the tab ID as the webview2 is created (or some other mechanism to map chromium internal tab ids with our app tab ids) would be extremely useful.
The scenario/use case where you would use this feature
For any situation where native and extension code interops and the context is tabs (e.g. reimplementing the behaviour of chrome.tabs.query), the extension and native code needs to agree which tab is which - hence there is a need for some way to map from native tabs/webview2 instances to the tab ids as seen by extensions.

Critical. My app's basic functions wouldn't work without it.
