Option to open Viewer in external browser (like for R Help)

[fisher-j]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Sometimes it is useful to be able to open the contents of the Viewer in an external browser.

Describe the solution you'd like R Plot, Help and Markdown all have a command to open in external browser, I would like to have this option for Viewer contents as well.

Describe alternatives you've considered It is possible to get this functionality by disabling Viewer.

Thanks for the feature request! It is straightforward to implement. However, it won't work with remote development scenario since the file is on a remote server rather than local. I think we'll need Live Preview for remote scenario.

Thanks for responding. Just for clarification, my specific use case involves viewing large html tables for data exploration, but when viewing smaller tables, the built in Viewer is desirable.
