How to make debugger open a browser with remote debugging for console apps?

Given a standard launchSettings.json file in a console app with a configuration that runs the browser ("launchBrowser": true), inspectUri etc. The debugger will ignore the launchBrowser setting completely.

I assume this is because the Sdk is Microsoft.NET.Sdk and not Microsoft.NET.Sdk.Web. Does the debugger check for that particular string in the .csproj file or is it a property within the Microsoft.NET.Sdk.Web targets that lets the debugger know it should launch a browser session? How does the debugger know?
