Transclude Me Extension

This extension enables live preview for:
- Fragment links (https://web.dev/text-fragments/)
- General preview for a set of allowlisted websites

For the same links it allows you to view them in a Sliding Panel mode.

Links in preview mode can be saved to Instapaper

Usage:
After installing the extension - supported links should get a `τ` indicator suffix to signify that this link has a preview.

To see the preview for a link, hover over the link with the `Alt` key pressed.
Click on the link with `Shift+Alt` keys pressed to open the link in the sliding pane view.

---
The extension also allows you to copy any page element's HTML to easily share a context rich representation of it. This part of extension is still work in progress though.
