Description
Since nbconvert allows custom exporters to be added to entry points, it would be neat if the notebook GUI recognised if custom exporters showed up in the `File > Download as..` menu for files with the right file type.
If eg a file is opened with a MATLAB kernel, which specifies `.m` file extensions, and there is a custom `.m` exporter installed, that export option would appear in the menu.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by tracing the notebook GUI's File > Download as menu and how nbconvert custom exporters are exposed through entry points. Confirm how the opened file's type and extensions are represented, then verify that a matching installed exporter appears as a download option for that file type.
