Description
It's great that I can define ports in the .gitpod.yml that are automatically opened in a new browser tab when they become available. For some ports it would be helpful to be able to additionally specify a path to open, since the root path does not always serve something. For example, I have some Prometheus instrumentation examples in https://github.com/promlabs/instrumentation-examples that only serve something on /metrics, not on /.

Research direction
Start with the port configuration in .gitpod.yml and trace how a port becoming available is opened in a browser. Done means a configured path such as /metrics can be opened instead of only the root path, while existing port behavior remains supported.
