Description

I asked a question in stack overflow to learn more about how to use vscode:// and what endpoints and parameters are available, but I got no aswers for a long time and I am going to assume that this is not documented at all.

Start with the linked Stack Overflow question and investigate the existing vscode:// URL scheme, including its available endpoints and parameters. Done means adding documentation that explains how to use the scheme and clearly lists the supported endpoints and parameters.
