A nice idea and I agree that we all have our own fave editor.
However I had thought of making the opening of the data from the
database 'look' similar to opening a file which suggests tweeking the
'open' UI of an existing editor. I think your idea requires selecting
files first and then invoking the editor.

I'll give it some thought as I am not really opposed to such a method
of opening files - thanks for the idea.
