Ability for extensions to contribute multiple nav items as a group about podman-desktop

[benoitf]

Extensions should be able to contribute multiple webviews with different icons, or a list of subpaths/nav-ids within one webview.

An extension can provide multiple webviews (but not customize the icon)

There can't be really subpath in the context of webviews as the html displayed is the one from the webview (the thing registered is not a UI thing) so there is no navigation pattern.

Multiple webviews means different html so I don't know how it would behave from the implementation of an extension. Like multiple chunks for each app ?

Short answer is: I don't know. Contributing icons and being able to tag several webviews as a group would be easy, I agree it's figuring out if there's any way to provide external 'navigation' that may not be possible. Ideally I'd want it to be possible to deliver something like AI Lab as a set of pages and have Podman Desktop manage the nav items (and support show/hide, etc), or move Kubernetes to an extension without having to contribute 6+ frontends.
