Make protocol URL configurable for editor integration in openFile #232

@cogscides

Description

@cogscides

Currently, the openFile function (in packages/react-grab/src/primitives.ts) uses a hardcoded protocol URL to open files in editors, such as vscode://file/.... This limits flexibility for users who may use different flavors or versions of editors (e.g., vscode-insiders://file/..., or other editor protocols).

Feature request:

Allow users to customize or control the protocol URL used to open files. This could be via a configuration option, environment variable, or function parameter.

Benefits:

  • Supports more user setups (e.g., VSCode Insiders, other editors with protocol support)
  • Improves developer experience for teams with mixed editor environments
  • Enables easier testing and extension for future integrations

Proposal:

  • Abstract the protocol part of the URL in openFile and related helpers.
  • Provide a way (parameter, config, env) to override the protocol.
  • Update documentation to describe how users can change the protocol.
