My idea is to open files supported by the OS, VSC extensions, etc as a file in preview mode. For example, right clicking an html file then clicking "Open as Preview" will open a new tab as if its a file and show the contents in a simple frame. If you are wanting to see an example I've edited to look like the new feature I'm requesting, well here you go...
I'm sorry, I'm not the best at photoshopping but I did my best. This is kind of what I mean. If the file is being view without a workspace (alone as a single file), then there would be a button next to "Split view" at the top right near the exit button that will open the file as a preview file if it is supported by an extension, software, raw file view by OS or is supported by VSC. If the file you want to preview is in a workspace (currently open is a folder viewing workspace), then there would be an option to right click the file then "Open as Preview" or the same way you would open it as a singular file (without workspace). I tried my best to explain what I mean but if you are still having trouble understanding, just take a look at the images above. Please note that there is a reload button on the top right of the preview side of the second image, that will reload the preview to be updated with the code. A second idea (possibility) is a JavaScript Developer Console can be put below the preview with JavaScript errors, warnings and logs like Chrome does but that is optional.
