Description
I haven't been able to make use of these options to set the default preview port in VS Code... It doesn't seem that quarto in VS Code actually uses them (I could be misconfiguring something).
The extension currently uses the randomly chosen port system which quickly fills up the port menu with a bunch of dead ports upon subsequent reopening of the project, it would be nice to be able to set a default preview port through a setting such as quarto.defaultPreviewPort.

Research direction
Start by locating the VS Code extension's preview-port handling and compare it with the linked Quarto preview options. Done means users can configure a default preview port through a setting such as quarto.defaultPreviewPort and the extension uses that value instead of always choosing randomly.
