Jupyter in VS Code: WebIO not detected

[JakobAsslaender]

Hi everyone,
apologies if this a duplicate, but I did not find this particular case in the documentation or in the issues:

I run a Jupyter Notebook in VS Code and get the classic error WebIO not detected. I am unsure how to apply the troubleshooting tips with Jupyter being started from the VS extension rather than by hand.

Any input would be appreciated. Thanks a ton and sorry again for asking the standard question...

Is there any solution? I'm having the same issue when using Interact.jl

This has been answered in #462, where one of the members of this repository has stated that it's up for the Julia VS Code extension to add support for that.
A user opened up an issue in julia-vscode/julia-vscode#1532 to request support for WebIO in Julia's VS Code extension, but had no luck so far, with the issue being open for more than 3 years.
There's a suggested workaround in #462 (comment) which uses the web browser to render the interactive part, effectively skipping the shortcomings of VS Code.
