Steps to reproduce:

This is an enhancement request.

I am re-developping HTML Validator extension for Webextension.
The extension adds a panel in the devtools. I would like to be able to click
on an icon in the toolbar to start devtools and go to my tab.
In practice, I would like to click on the icon to see source of the page + the HTML errors.

But this is not existing in WebExtension API , nor in Chrome nor in FF.
