VSCode yaml.schemas does not support open-in-new-tab

[sebpretzer]

Issue:

I am using VSCode Intellisense to validate mkdocs.yml, as described here: https://squidfunk.github.io/mkdocs-material/creating-your-site/#minimal-configuration for .vscode/settings.json:

"yaml.schemas": {
        "https://squidfunk.github.io/mkdocs-material/schema.json": "mkdocs.yml"
    },

When attempting to use the plugin in mkdocs.yml like so:

plugins:
  - open-in-new-tab

I get the following error:

Potential Solutions:

I am unclear on the best way to resolve this. Please let me know what you think is the best solution.

1. Add to the official schema

Based on the conversation in squidfunk/mkdocs-material#3660, it seems like squidfunk would prefer that users use his insider's plugin, which would be understandable. I doubt he would support adding this to the official schema, like done in squidfunk/mkdocs-material#6378. But I can attempt to do so, if that is the easier solution.

2. Override .vscode/settings.json

An alternative could be to override yaml.customTags, which would silence the error. Although I am not sure how format it in a way that would silence it. I tried a few different patterns like described in redhat-developer/vscode-yaml#137 but could not get it to silence. This is an educated guess as a possible solution, but guidance would be needed on how to implement.

Hi, thank you for providing the information. I will look at it next week.

I have added https://github.com/JakubAndrysek/mkdocs-open-in-new-tab/blob/main/schema.json

It seems to work well after adding it to material repo - locally

After I add schema to all of my plugins, I will create PR to mkdocs-material repo.
