[Feature]: ICoreWebView2BrowserExtension should be able to provide more information

[HIllya51]

Describe the feature/enhancement you need

For example, it should be possible to obtain settings page link (like chrome-extension://bdiifdefkgmcblbcghdlonllpjhhjgof/options.html), icons, etc

The scenario/use case where you would use this feature

Some extensions require some configuration before they can be used, but I am unable to know what is their configuration page uri.

How important is this request to you?

Impactful. My app's user experience would be significantly compromised without it.

Suggested implementation

ICoreWebView2BrowserExtension2
{
HRESULT get_Icon(HICON*);
HRESULT get_OptionsUIPage(PWSTR*);
}

What does your app do? Is there a pending deadline for this request?

No response

Hi @HIllya51, could you please with the importance of the request.

[HIllya51]

I think it's quite important because the current extension related APIs seem to be just decorations and can hardly do anything. Large number of plugins require configuration before they can be used. If the configuration URL cannot be obtained, adding them is useless.

Would also appreciate that. As currently for my app that uses Browser Extensions i have to keep a list with supported extensions where the settings page ending is kept like \options.html \popup.html

Also what would be needed in addition to that is a toggle for extensions developer mode as many browser extensions require this as well to fully work. Also created a issue for that.
