Description
I often use MacDown to view Markdown documents that I edit using XCode, by selecting "Open with External Editor" from within XCode. However, the Markdown document is not reloaded when reopened with Macdown.
It would be great if Macdown reloaded the Markdown document when it receives an application:openFile: event. Just a suggestion from a casual user.

Research direction
Locate the MacDown entry point that handles the application:openFile: event and trace how an already-open Markdown document is managed. Confirm the expected behavior by reopening an edited document in MacDown; done means the document reloads when that event is received.
