Description
Description
Currently only JSON and strings can be shown in custom tabs. It would be good to able to set HTML as a custom tab in a script and then have it render in a webview
Why this feature/change is important?
This would allow custom tabs to create any UI/formatting. My exact use case is I have an API that outputs debug information in the JSON response, I'd like to take that data and make it easier to read by having a table with multiple columns and collapsable sections, while the app I'm developing still has access to the full JSON response.
Either it could use a web view to render it based on detecting the customPreviewerTabs value is HTML, or by being able to set a type value eg customPreviewerTabTypes['tabname'] = "html". The later would allow other values like "treeview", "xml" etc.

Research direction
Start by locating the script API that exposes customPreviewerTabs and the code that handles custom tab values. Compare how JSON and string content are displayed, then determine how an HTML value could be rendered in a webview while preserving access to the underlying response. Done means a script can create an HTML custom tab and the existing JSON and string behavior still works.
