Describe the feature

One of the very useful features of vscode is the built-in port forwarding, which persists URLs. This functionality is available in lots of ways outside of the editor (ngrok, cloudflare tunnel...), why I think it will be great to have it in the editor? Well, the most impressive feature of zed was the channels. Though I could use other apps for audio and video calls, and take the notes somewhere else, the built-in one click away calls in the editor means a lot for my current project. I think the port forwarding built into channels may be very useful. For example when connected to the channel the URL https://USERNAME-CHANNEL_ID-PORT will forward to the user's local port. Checking zed, was a "3 wow per minute" call, when we were trying it with my coworker, mainly because of the collaboration features and I think port forwarding may move collaboration experience farther.

If applicable, add mockups / screenshots to help present your vision of the feature
