Description
🚀 Feature Request
Vscode has an integrated browser feature now. Can we have a feature that lets playwright pick locators from the integrated browser?
Example
No response
Motivation
Supporting locator picking from the integrated browser would streamline test authoring, reduce context switching between windows, and provide a more seamless developer experience for users who primarily work within VS Code.
This would be especially useful when inspecting elements, generating locators, and creating Playwright tests without leaving the editor environment.
