Pylance installation toast doesn't do take me to installation page in Codespaces #14264

Description

@DavidObando

When I open a Python file in a GitHub Codespace, I get to install the Python extension. Jedi is the default language server, but I can manually edit the setting to use Pylance. Next, I get this toast:
pylance-1
When I click on the “Yes” button, nothing happens unfortunately. This may be due to the fact that I’m in a remote session, running in a browser tab.

Environment data

  • Environment: GitHub Codespace
  • Language Server version: v2020.9.112786
  • OS and version: Linux codespaces_eadf1b 5.4.0-1026-azure Resizable Docstring pylance-release#26~18.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Thu Sep 10 16:19:25 UTC 2020 x86_64 GNU/Linux
  • Python version (& distribution if applicable, e.g. Anaconda): Python 3.8.3 (64-bit)

Expected behaviour

Clicking the "Yes" button in the toast notification should take me to the extensions tab of Codespaces, and display the Pylance extension. I should then be able to click "Install" to get it going.

Actual behaviour

Nothing happens, the toast notification goes away and you're left with no Pylance. I happen to know that I can search for the extension, but getting to Pylance in Codespaces right now has a lot of friction.

Code Snippet / Additional information

I can manually search for the Pylance extension and install it. After that, Pylance starts as expected everything works normally.
