Chat: User can attach an untitled file to chat requests but there's no way for extensions to get the file's contents #233128

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: N/A

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Open a new, untitled file--don't save it, but keep it as the focused tab
  2. Initiate a chat request to GitHub Copilot Chat or any participant--the untitled file will be auto-attached
  3. In the code, the participant receives a ChatRequest, including a reference for the untitled file, but there's no way to access its contents--vscode.workspace.fs.readFile() will fail.

/cc @isidorn being able to attach an untitled file caused https://github.com/microsoft/GitHub-Copilot-for-Azure/issues/12. We're working on a fix but it's easily worked around.

We should support being able to access content from untitled file. Assigning to Ben since he has this item on the plan. fyi @roblourens
