Description
Following discussion #262
We implemented a batch of custom asset actions to `stac-browser` merged upstream visible here [stac-browser/src/actions/assets](https://github.com/radiantearth/stac-browser/tree/main/src/actions/assets) - so that asset types that are not COGs can be viewed in dedicated, external, web-viewers. Determining which action to expose in stac-browser is based on `asset.type` MIME type or `href` file-extension, usually passing the item URL as search-param to the external viewer.
The asset types we added support for are:
- `3d-tiles` (via [3DTilesRendererJS](https://nasa-ammos.github.io/3DTilesRendererJS/example/bundle/three/index.html#URL) and [Cesium standalone](https://sandcastle.cesium.com/standalone.html#c=PAYLOAD)), or giro3d/threepipe
- `COPC` ([hobu viewer](https://viewer.copc.io?copc=URL) and potree)
- `pmtiles` [official viewer](https://pmtiles.io/#url=https%3A%2F%2Fdemo-bucket.protomaps.com%2Fv4.pmtiles&map=1.24/0/0)
- `geoparquet` via [geoparquet.info](https://geoparquet.info/)
- `potree` [viewer](https://3d.iconem.com/apps/load_potree_project_from_urlparam?fit=true&c=elevation&datasetsUrls[%27URL%27])
- `meshes` (via [f3d-web](https://f3d.app/viewer/#model=https://groups.csail.mit.edu/graphics/classes/6.837/F03/models/teapot.obj) and [threepipe](https://threepipe.org/examples/tweakpane-editor?model=URL)).
- `3DGS splat` scenes (via [supersplat](https://superspl.at/editor?filename=scene.splat&load=${encodeURIComponent(azureUrl)}) or [sparkjs](https://sparkjs.dev/examples/editor/index.html?url=URL))
- even for `COG`, it could make sense to be able to open them in external viewer with more viewing/rendering options like recent [source-cooperative/cog-viewer](https://github.com/source-cooperative/cog-viewer) ([app](https://github.com/source-cooperative/cog-viewer)) based on deckgl-raster, or original [geotiffjs/cog-explorer](https://geotiffjs.github.io/cog-explorer/#long=16.370&lat=48.210&zoom=5&scene=&bands=&pipeline=) see [comment](https://github.com/developmentseed/stac-map/issues/280)
- `geojson`: placemark [wants](https://github.com/placemark/placemark/issues/227) to support permalinks, and geojson.io does support passing a geojson URL https://geojson.io/?data=https://example.com/file.geojson
It could be useful for stac-map to also support these. Note most can probably be added as link to each stac item, although this would include some duplication like `https://threepipe.org/examples/tweakpane-editor?model=ITEM_URL`.
Note we have to update these actions - hopefully by next month - because breaking changes were introduced in some of these viewers.
