SharedUX code changes LGTM

Thanks for working on this @saikatsarkar056. That's very cool, I didn't know Monaco editors have this option! I left a few comments.

[ElenaStoeva]

Thanks for addressing my feedback! I left a few follow-up comments. Also, could you run the flaky test runner with x200 just to make sure the new console test is not flaky?

[ElenaStoeva]

Why do we do this given that later we hover over the link and click the link?

[saikatsarkar056]

There are two ways to open the link:

1. Cmd + Click
2. Hover over the link to display a tooltip, then click “Follow the link” to open the page in a new tab.

I’ve updated the test so that it now uses only the Cmd + Click method.
