Details

It would be useful to make certain decisions inside webRequest.onBeforeRequest listeners based on the webNavigation.TransitionType. Not sure if that's even feasible, possible or wanted, since I guess TransitionType is part of webNavigation for a reason - but if there's a chance that it could be done, that'd be great. I'd also be interested in working on that in case it is.

The mechanisms that drive these APIs are quite different, attempting to combine them in this way isn't something we'd do.
