It was removed from VS Code: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-extension-samples/pull/178
For some reasons previewHtml is implemented with a webview. I’m trying to complete webview support in Theia, but it affects this command, i.e. we have to hook it in the shell as well, give it an id, some internal webview type. I wonder since VS Code does not support such command anymore and VS Code extensions don’t rely on it. Can we remove this command instead? cc @florentbenoit

PR introduced it:https://github.com/eclipse-theia/theia/pull/4375 Unfortunately I cannot find Vatalii Parfonov on Spectrum. @abazko, @yevhen, @artem-z could you check with him whether this command is required for theia plugins?
It was to handle fabric8 analytics but it has been moved to webview now: https://github.com/fabric8-analytics/fabric8-analytics-vscode-extension/pull/257
it seems lot of extensions are using it https://github.com/search?l=TypeScript&q=vscode.previewHtml&type=Code but looks like they’re obsolete extensions as well now. I’m fine to drop the support
