Connect to existing matlab session

[disberd]

Is there a possibility to connect to an existing shared matlab session rather than creating an independent one for the terminal?

I see that the MATLAB python API allows this by using connect_matlab() instead of start_matlab() but I couldn't find a way to achieve this with the extension.

Is this something that can be done currently with the extension?

I for example would like to use matlab within vscode in order to have everything in the same window when coding and testing out things. But would also like the added benefit of being able to use the workspace variable explorer for example when needed by just going to the open matlab gui window.
