Description
This issue is a follow up from this discussion: https://github.com/posit-dev/positron/discussions/9446#discussioncomment-14421016
The feature request is for support webr/pyodide chunks and interactively treat them identically to R/python chunks respectively. "Support" here would mean the ability to run code in the codes and have proper syntax highlighting.
For example with normal R chunks in positron we might see something like this:
but when we create a webr chunk we lose the code running ability and the syntax highlighting:
Is this something this extension would consider supporting? Alternatively is there a workaround to make working with quarto-live code a bit more friendly?

Research direction
Start with the linked Positron discussion and compare the existing handling of R and Python chunks with the reported webr and pyodide behavior. Identify the entry points for interactive execution and syntax highlighting; done means both chunk types run code and receive the corresponding highlighting, or the supported workaround is documented.
