Open workspace from vscode:// url

[rsargent]

I can open a workspace by specifying a .workspace file from the commandline:

code /path/to/my.workspace

I'd like to be able to open a workspace from a vscode: url like so:

vscode://file/path/to/my.workspace

Thanks for considering.

Looks like a bug to me that we do not handle this correctly atm. Something must have broken here given my comment.

Am I doing something wrong?

# works
code-insiders /Users/tyleonha/Code/Misc/multi-root-test/workspace.code-workspace

# doesn't work
code-insiders vscode://Users/tyleonha/Code/Misc/multi-root-test/workspace.code-workspace
code-insiders vscode:///Users/tyleonha/Code/Misc/multi-root-test/workspace.code-workspace

the path is odd... isn't it?

Yes, this is about link handlers, not CLI.

@rsargent could you verify in insiders?
