"deep link" from Python/R client session to web editor

[soxofaan]

Feature idea (to be discussed how useful/feasible this is):

• user is (for example) using python client in a jupyter environment and has authenticated connection
• user does something like connection.open_webeditor()
• new browser window opens (or some kind of link is printed) with authenticated webeditor, so user does not have to go through authentication on webeditor again

(hard part of this is probably getting the auth tokens from python space to browser space is a secure manner)

Yes, the authentication issue is really the hardest part, I think.

And there's the rabbit hole: Which editor to open? editor.openeo.cloud or editor.openeo.org ;-)

Which editor to open? editor.openeo.cloud or editor.openeo.org ;-)

That could be done with an argument e.g. connection.open_webeditor("editor.openeo.org"), a client config file entry or ultimately even a discovery/detection mechanism (e.g. something along the lines of prepending "editor." to the back-end hostname)

this idea of forwarding the token obtained with python client to web editor could also help with
