tmux.Plan.SplitPane(target: Ref, request: SplitPaneRequest) -> Ref
```

SplitPane records a split of the window or pane target names, and returns a [Ref] to the pane it will create.

The returned ref can target later steps before the pane exists:

plan := tmux.NewPlan()
pane := plan.SplitPane(window.Ref(), tmux.SplitPaneRequest{})
plan.SendKeys(pane, tmux.SendKeysRequest{Command: tmux.Ptr("top")})
result, err := plan.Run(ctx, server)
