Description

Test Case 1 :
new context()
page.goto("https://example.com");

Test Case 2
new context()
page.goto("https://example.com");

I want to reuse all the static resource cache from Test Case 1 in Test Case 2, so that this test case will not download the resources anymore, it will be very useful when it accesses some websites with large file resources

In [Isolation](https://playwright.dev/docs/browser-contexts) mode, Is there a way to achieve it?
PS: Just want to reuse the static resources not cookies or storage.

Research direction

Start with the Isolation browser-context documentation and the reported `new context()` and `page.goto()` flow. Define whether static resources can be reused between the two contexts while cookies and storage remain isolated; done means the second test avoids downloading those resources.
