Description

Describe the feature

It's possible to annotate the Chrome DevTools Performance graph with links that, when clicked, can take the developer directly to the Nuxt DevTools extension, for the purpose of providing contextual information.

It can be tested on Chrome Canary. Details are at: http://crbug.com/427430112#comment7

Research direction
Explore the Chrome DevTools extensibility API for performance timeline annotations (refer to crbug.com/427430112). Examine the existing Nuxt DevTools extension codebase in the repository (likely under packages/nuxt devtools) to understand how it currently integrates with Chrome DevTools. Look for hooks or APIs that could be used to add custom links to the Performance panel. Consider reviewing any existing modules that extend the DevTools for guidance.
