Trigger Commands in Webview
A number of our commands use simple webviews that are rendering Markdown content to show a preview of an operation. See fixKeybindingConflicts (Private) for example.
Sometimes we want to simulate a button click within the rendered markdown, and an easy way to do this is to utilze command URIs.
This lets you link to arbitrary commands (built-in and extension-contributed) using a standard Markdown link.
You can see an example usage in KeybindingUtils.showKeybindingConflictPreview, which uses command URIs to trigger workbench.action.openGlobalKeybindingsFile, workbench.action.openDefaultKeybindingsFile, and dendron.copyToClipboard commands.
If you need to add a new command only to use it as described here, also make sure you set proper enablement of them
