1364526 - clicking source-mapped url only works if debugger already opened

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(DevTools :: Framework, enhancement, P2)

Description

If you have a source-mapped url somewhere in devtools (e.g., the console);
then clicking it will work if the debugger has already been opened -- it will
open the source in the debugger.
However, it will not work if the debugger has never been opened.  In this case
this call to getSource will not return a truthy value:

Maybe it would be possible to fix this in the debugger.
Another idea would be to simply pass a flag to viewSourceInDebugger, because in
these cases we already know that the URL comes from a source-mapped source.
