I want to make a dev tools Chrome extension that lets the user go to specific points in the page's source code (whenever the page's source code calls some global function foo that I inject into the page via an extension content script).

I can get a stack trace by having function foo throw an exception and then catch it.

But how can I tell Chrome dev tools to go navigate to a certain line in the source code? Is there an API call for that?

There's an API function just for that, chrome.devtools.panels.openResource.
Note that line numbers are zero-based for this API.

// Opens line 34 of file https://example.com/test.js, assuming this resource is present: chrome.devtools.panels.openResource("https://example.com/test.js", 33, function() { // Resource should be open, but no way to test that it succeeded });
