Good idea. Looks like the opn package supports it. PR welcome!

I just downloaded https://polypane.rocks and came running here to see how I can have webpack open that up (dev browser) instead of my default 'browsing' browser.

@typerory so, this took a while (hi!) but with the upcoming version of Polypane, the app is installable and you'll be able to use --open polypane.
