In draft so I don't accidentally merge.

Fixes react/react#33983 (comment)
See https://issues.chromium.org/u/1/issues/462747680

Seems like chrome.devtools.panels.openResource is not actually the default behavior for the resource handler. It's erroring when trying to open URLs that don't point to Chrome Resources and not doing anything. Will bring this up with Chrome but until then we should have a workaround.

E.g. clicking on https://google.com does nothing.

Falling back to window.open in case openResource errors. https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/reference/api/devtools/panels#method-openResource doesn't document the parameter to the callback but it returns an error-like object.

Test plan

1. Load extension from CI artifact
   Click on the link from console.log('https://google.com'). File links also work (e.g. console.log('file://404'))

Greptile Summary

Added error handling to chrome.devtools.panels.openResource to fix console links that point to external URLs or non-Chrome resources (like https://google.com or file://404). When openResource fails, the code now falls back to window.open to open the URL in the browser's default behavior.

• Fixed issue where clicking on external URLs in console logs would fail silently
• Added callback parameter to openResource that checks for errors via maybeError.isError
• Provides graceful fallback to window.open when Chrome cannot handle the resource

Confidence Score: 5/5

• This PR is safe to merge with minimal risk
• The change is a straightforward bug fix that adds proper error handling to an existing API call. It follows the documented Chrome extension API callback pattern, provides a sensible fallback behavior, and doesn't introduce breaking changes or security issues. The fix addresses a real bug where external URLs couldn't be opened from console logs.
• No files require special attention
