title: Anyway to highlight and select data in Chrome dev tools sources tab scope sidebar via chrome extension?
body: <p>chrome.devtools.panels.sources Seems to be the api of choice here.</p>
  <p>Specifically the onSelectionChanged.addListener function.</p>
  <p>The problem is this function works everywhere but the sidebars where the debugger data is located.</p>
  <p>Is this a joke? Why would google expose an api to modify the debugger UI without also exposing access to its values?</p>
  <p>I must be missing something here right?</p>
  <p>Specifically I want to select a value in the scope sidebar that appears during debugging, and then run a function on that value that transforms it and displays the transformed value within a tooltip or popup.</p>
  <p>I briefly considered the chrome.debugger api but it is mutually exclusive with an open dev tools instance. It’s for “remote” debugging.</p>
