I'll also mark this as an enhancement! :)

So, @ofirrifo ! The issue goes a bit deeper than what it seems. To make it work automatically, like Storybook does, it will take some time from us to change some things in the builder, and it's planned to happen sooner than later.

In the meantime, I will push a fix that will work if you pass --open=true or just --open when you're running Storybook. Alternatively, in your project.json, in your storybook target, in the options, you can add open: true.

The reason why right now, even if passing open:true does not work is that we are force-passing ci: true.

I actually debugged this during my last stream, if you care to see the whole debugging process.

Also, @ofirrifo , let me know if using --open to make it work should suffice for now and we can close this, until we have the other things lined up.
