Whether it's possible to initiate a frontend request directly within an extension

[alanhe421]

I'm curious whether it's possible to initiate a frontend request directly within an extension. I don't want to execute it in the code server, which is Node, but rather have the frontend initiate the request directly.
From what I know so far, I can create a webview and then execute it, but this webview would certainly be visible. I don't want to add such a page; I just want to directly initiate a request. For example, if I register a command, once the user executes the command, it would then initiate such a web request.

There is no way to do this (that I know of), but you could patch code-server to make it possible (see your other discussion for details).
