Description

Expected:

Clicking on Open Vega Editor popup would open generated chart Vega specification in an online Vega Editor in the default browser using vscode.open command with encoded vega spec url. See #152 for more info on the latter part.

Alternatively, you can integrate with Vega Viewer 📈 vscode extension for this part and open generated Vega specification in Vega Viewer via commands.executeCommand('vega.preview', vegaSpecUri)

Research direction

Locate the Chart Settings → Tools → Show Vega spec → Open Vega Editor popup handler and trace how the generated Vega specification is passed to commands. Start by checking the existing vscode.open usage and the behavior described in issue #152. Done means the action opens the encoded specification in the default browser, or invokes the documented Vega Viewer command.
