Description

We could encode the code into a x-workbench:// URI to make examples/test case/... easy to share.

But first we should probably add some warning to warn users that running arbitrary code can be dangerous. Maybe when opening the URI with a popup.

Perhaps in the future a http URI that opens a website which offers to install Workbench before opening a workbench:// URI.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Begin by locating the Workbench URI-opening path, then determine how encoded code and the execution warning should be specified. Done means the sharing flow, safety prompt, and any future installation handoff have a settled scope and acceptance criteria.
