Description

For example, say we had a GeoJSON file of all the bus stops in an area, already with tags such as route, location, operator, shelter yes/no, etc.

It'd be nice to have the ability to pop open the iD editor or JOSM and be able to paste the item directly into the map if there wasn't something already there. Bus stops are an easy example because there are many scattered across a wide area, though they should have some context and tags associated with them to be useful.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the task and API behavior in the Scala backend, then determine how GeoJSON details and tags would be represented for export or handoff to iD and JOSM. Done means the issue has a defined workflow for opening or pasting a tagged item when no map feature already exists, with the behavior validated end to end.
