Description
Loading example content from external sources is a complicated topic, and would involve thinking about a lot of security implications and committing to stable file formats.
On the other hand, if we can add support for a URI scheme something like workbench://demo/List View, we can link to interactive demos in Workbench from websites like gjs.guide easily and safely.

Research direction
Start by reviewing how Workbench currently launches and selects demos, then compare the proposed workbench://demo/List View URI with the linking needs described for gjs.guide. Investigate the security and stable-format concerns raised in the issue; done should mean a documented, safe way for websites to open the intended interactive demo.
