Description

As the title says, is it possible to configure and open an external editor (e.g. Geany, or Notepad++) when clicking on a class file in the browser tab?

This would be very comfortable for better inspecting the decompiled class, since the features of the embedded viewer are very limited.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the class-file browser and embedded viewer entry points mentioned in the issue, then trace how decompiled output is opened. Determine how an external editor could be configured and what platform behavior must be supported. Done means a user can configure an editor and open the selected decompiled class in it.
