While investigating this, I remembered this issue and the capability of the Web IDE GitLab Workflow extension to insert project snippets (https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-vscode-extension/-/blob/main/README.md#insert-snippet). While it is not quite the same, it could certainly resolve some of this lacking functionality today if we can preload the Web IDE with this extension > > * https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/385787+ > * https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/358809+ https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/411934#note_1405117502 /cc @nick_vh
