Description

### Is this related to a new or existing Amplify category?

_No response_

### Is this related to another service?

_No response_

### Describe the feature you'd like to request

I'd like to be able to use a 'custom' editor as opposed to the given selection. Personally, I use emacs with daemon mode, which requires launching with an extra flag (`emacs --daemon`). I can see this as helpful for people with esoteric editors or other flags as well.

### Describe the solution you'd like

I think it would make sense to allow any editor much like how git permits any editor to handle actions like rebasing. A solution would be either being an option to specify a custom edit or an option to pull it from the `VISUAL`/ `EDITOR` environment variables.

### Describe alternatives you've considered

Choosing the listed editors. It isn't as comfortable.
