It would be nice to be able to open the debugger in a tab and work on it like a normal webpage.

----
Here are some notes from a convseration with Alex.


- `about:devtools-toolbox?type=process` will open a browser toolbox in a tab

 it only works for the netmonitor: `chrome://devtools/content/netmonitor/index.html?type=tab&id=21474837308`


The pattern in the replace about:devtools-toolbox with panel's URL. The main issue is that you have to go throught about:debugging to get the id of things
The query parameter are working thanks to such piece of code:
