I think it makes a lot of sense. There's some kind of generic "run an
open panel" signal that the WebKit layer gets. We could pipe that out

It's a little hairy to get and build WebKit, but you can always drop
by the channel and ask for help. :) There's also a lot of good
documentation:

It'd make sense to have it in both ports actually.
