Opening the same MR or Issue in webview multiple times causes duplicated tabs

I just noticed that when selecting an Issue or Merge Request I have already opened once, it opens another tab instead of showing the already existing tab. This can cause the tab-bar to get full very quickly if you don't track what you already opened and is not how VSCode itself handles these things, so it's a bit annoying.

I know that the Issue and MR-Features are still experimental but wanted to point this strange behaviour out anyway.

  • VSCode Version: 1.44.2 (ff915844119ce9485abfe8aa9076ec76b5300ddd)
  • Extension version: 2.2.0
  • OS: Arch Linux on 64bit Desktop-PC

Possible solution

If we use the VS Code native Uri to identify each issue and MR webview, we could avoid duplication without us writing any custom code.
