@copilot no need to change the current create view. Just add a setting githubPullRequest.createInBrowser, which defaults to false. When set to true, the existing "create" command should open the browser with the appropriate PR URL for the current branch and correct base branch, using the same base branch logic that the "create" view does to pick the starting base branch.
