Description:
When working with Inspector, there's friction in refreshing the scene + opening the Inspector + searching the entity / selecting the entity + repeat.
Changes proposed:
?inspector={elementId}URL parameter that automatically opens the Inspector and focuses on the passed-in entity (if any). Then if you are working in an Inspector workflow (e.g., tweaking an entity), just keep the URL parameter there and refresh.Entity.inspect()method to easily open/focus any entity in Inspector from DevTools console.If merged, matching Inspector changes will follow.
