Script TAB open other windows?

[FourGames]

• Would it be possible to make the script tab open other things than just the script it would be very useful to have it also open ChatGPT or the browser, especially when working with floating script!
• This would fix this issue:
  Minimizing floating script editor prevents script tab from refocusing it godot#103150

Thats just unnecessary if you ask me, I mean you could manually open a window + its very niche.

edit: this would fix an issue as well.

how would that fix the issue though

Looks like you want a couple things: Open a process, and bring up a window.

• Opening a process is easy, but I don't see how it would address the linked issue.
• Bringing up a window can be a hassle, due to differences between platforms. And it seems to be too general.

I'd expect that a solution for windows opened by Godot processes would probably be easier than a solution for any window. So, I'd argue for a specific fix instead of a general solution.

However, I'd not be against some kind of callback to which plugin authors can subscribe so they can run some code when a particular main screen plugin is opened. In fact, I think we can monkey our way to hack this already, after all, those are nodes in the editor scene tree.

I was not aware that there was a difference between opening a process and bringing up a window. I thought both were just windows.
In that case, you're right that it would be too general. The issue is that the tab doesn't open the process window if it's minimized, so I thought this would solve it maybe not.
