How do I get access to the chrome.sidePanel API from the latest manifest v3? - Stack Overflow

Need to add this to the extension I am working on to help users get to the sidepanel more easily.

```js
chrome.sidePanel
  .setPanelBehavior({ openPanelOnActionClick: true })
  .catch((error) => console.error(error));
```
