Description
Like the live-preview extension (as seen in the screenshot), I recommend to add a preview toolbar action that opens with the embedded edge browser:
There are many such preview commands already in VS Code (e.g. for markdown files).

Research direction
Start by comparing the existing VS Code preview commands for Markdown with this extension's command contributions and HTML handling. Verify how the embedded Edge browser is opened, then define the toolbar action's completion condition: selecting it for an HTML file opens that file in the embedded preview.
