Description
### Description
When you currently open a JPG image for example, it is shown in NetBeans. It would be great if you are able to view WebP images in NetBeans as well.
### Use case/motivation
To check what an actual image looks like, it's faster when you are able to do so from NetBeans.

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by locating the NetBeans component that opens and displays JPG images, then determine how WebP decoding could fit into that existing image-viewing path. Done means opening a WebP image in NetBeans displays the image as expected.
