WCA@IBM Visual Studio Code extension should support web version

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

If I launch the extension in Visual Studio Code desktop, it works perfectly.
But when I tried to launch it in the Dev Spaces / Che-Code ( Visual Studio Code downstream projects ), I faced some issues.

First, the login URL is a bit different.

This is what I had for Visual Studio Code desktop:
https://wca-core-...-cluster-....us-south.containers.appdomain.cloud/v2/wca/core/auth/login?policy_version=5.0&referer=vscode://IBM.wca-core

And this this the URL for web version:
https://wca-core-...-cluster-....us-south.containers.appdomain.cloud/v2/wca/core/auth/login?policy_version=0.0&referer=checode://IBM.wca-core

(dots are used to truncate the URL)

I see the difference in referer.

To test, I changed "urlProtocol" in my "product.json" to "vscode" and was able to open the login page.
But after being logged in, I was proposed to open the following URL which leads to opening the desktop version of Visual Studio Code.
vscode://IBM.wca-core?access_token=here_was_my_token&policy_version=7.1

It is because my desktop Visual Studio Code is a default application for "vscode://" scheme.

It would be nice if the login procedure for Visual Studio Code web version will be somehow reworked.

To test the current behavior:
- dowload locally IBM.wca-core 1.2.0 and wca-at-ibm 8.0.0 binaries
- go to https://developers.redhat.com/products/openshift-dev-spaces/overview
- create a workspace
- open Extensions view on the left, drag here IBM.wca-core-1.2.0.vsix extension and then wca-at-ibm-8.0.0.vsix 
- using command palette, reload window
- open "WATSONX CODE ASSISTANT: CHAT" view and click "Sign in with w3id"
