Description
Instead of the 127.0.0.1:3000 URL, when we are using a DevContainer with Docker, the Forwareded Address should be used (the one automatically mapped and shown in the PORTS tab) to open the preview (as the Workbench Browser runs in the host environment, not inside the container).

Research direction
Start by reproducing the preview flow in a Docker-based DevContainer, comparing the hard-coded 127.0.0.1:3000 URL with the automatically forwarded address shown in the PORTS tab. Done means the Workbench Browser, running on the host, opens the preview through the forwarded address when the workspace uses a DevContainer.
