Add an easy way to open addons in a dedicated window

it is sometimes useful to open the UI for an addon in a dedicated tab outside the HA UI (not in an iframe).

this is especialy true with addons that you configure things in like node-red and esphome. it is not uncommon to switch tabs and switch back to find the iframe has reloaded and lost all your changes or to accedentaly click on another dashboard and loose your changes that way.

at the moment the only easy way to get the URL for the addon UI is to inspect element and look at the iframe URL and that is quite annoying. it would be great if there was a way in the side bar to click a button and have it open that addon in a dedicated tab.

this could be done with the middle click/open in new tab action however i am not sure that would be best given that would be a significant change to how things work now. another option is to add a button that shows up on hover so when you click that button it opens in a dedicated tab

At the moment I get around this by opening more than one home assistant tab.

same, it makes things easier but dosnt help if the browser decides to unload the iframe to save ram or you absentmindedly click on settings to check a device id

a good extention to this would be to also have cleaner URLs for the external pages. at the moment it is example.com/api/hassio_ingress/44 random chars/ and it would be great if it was nicer.

this isnt nesaserry and if adding this would make the main request impractical then disregard this addendum

Open the port for NodeRed directly.
Like http://:1880

then it dosnt use the HA ingres auth stuff and you still need to save that link. it is a workaround but it would still be far better to have a button in the main UI to open it in a dedicated tab
