This also improves the behavior when you have multiple editors open; with the other code path, you sometimes get weird closing of background editors. |

Related to posit-dev/positron#6698 where we added this new command, specifically to be used in Quarto
Also related to intermittent bad behavior we see reported such as in #627
We've wanted to do this for a long time, because this new approach is much safer (more like the built-in
ReOpenInTextEditorActionthat VS Code itself uses) than trying to do all that switching from the extension. See more details in posit-dev/positron#6230.Unfortunately, we can't remove the other code path, because this command is one we newly exposed to extensions in Positron only.
