Description

Feature Request

A common pattern is to define a content script and dynamically injecting script at runtime via

// script.ts
export default defineUnlistedScript(() => { console.log("Hello" });

// background.ts
browser.scripting.executeScript({ file: ["/script.js"] })

If the filename were to change, the user would also need to update the path used in executeScript. Curious on whether it's feasible to generate a constant enum specifying the filename. The API can look something like

export default defineUnlistedScript({
  name: "MyDynamicScript"
  main: () => { ... }
}

// background.ts
browser.scripting.executeScript({ file: [Scripts["MyDynamicScript"]] });

the value would map to the actual path.
