# Description of the new feature/enhancement

I have come across [Waveterm](https://www.waveterm.dev) which is only available for Linux and MacOS. It has really nice features such as
1. Workspaces
2. Inline code viewing and editing
3. Viewing Markdown, JSON, CSV and images all in the terminal
4. Viewing universal history (commands run universally in all machines)

Could you please implement these features to the Windows Terminal as well?

Also I have previously created an issue #13122 which is now converted to a discussion #13146 . These refer to Warp-terminal like features. Would be nice to have the above features included as well.
```[tasklist]
### Tasks
- [ ] Workspaces, for persisting individual windows then later reopening them
- [ ] Rich inline content (md, json, images, csv?) blocks via VT
- [ ] Universal history pane (this probably should be linked to the shell integration thread in #13445 (or similar)
```

Research direction

Start by reading discussion #13146 and the shell integration thread referenced as #13445, since this issue provides no files, tests, or code entry points. The work would first need separate, scoped requirements for workspaces, rich inline content, and universal history before completion could be evaluated.
