Status: RESOLVED FIXED

For the search interventions experiment, we want to record telemetry for the type/category of tip the user sees.

We're thinking that tip results will have a data in their payload. The data would be set by the extension, and when the user selects the tip, quantumbar (via the onResultPicked event) would send the data back to the extension so the extension can tell which tip was selected: https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/878bbf3cb8897a208454df27535f3522ab482cf2/browser/components/urlbar/UrlbarUtils.jsm#94

We could record this data in Firefox, or we could record it in the extension (via browser.telemetry). I'm not sure yet which makes more sense. Maybe in the extension, because I'm not sure we'd want to record every tip type the user sees once we land various tips in Firefox. We probably want to record picked tip types in Firefox, though.

[Edited this comment because I mixed up seen tips vs. picked tips.]
