Description

Thanks again for this useful extension! Potential feature request:

As I edit pages in Markdown format, I miss the original ability to only click on a section or subsection header and edit only that part, which is then inserted back into the overall document. That would be fantastic for small edits, and if an AI could be so directed, also to economize a few tokens.

What could also be desirable, and maybe even better: a way to instantiate a native (non-web) Markdown editor, e.g. the Kate, VSCodium, Zettler, or whatever editor I have on my desktop, preferably configured with an env variable. Right now, I just Ctrl+A/Ctrl+C/Alt-Tab/Ctrl+V, and then I get the full power of my familiar text editor.
