Description
The MATLAB extension has a setting for enabling the "default editor" to use the VS code window as editor for open and edit commands. This works well if you are using VS code, but when using a VS code fork, this will open a new VS code window instead of using the current editor.
It would be very helpful if this was genericized to support other editors that can install this extension, or at least allowing user customization of what command will be invoked on these open/edit configs.

Research direction
Start by locating the setting that enables the default editor and the handlers for open and edit commands. Trace how the current VS Code command is selected, then determine how a fork or user-provided command should be represented and invoked; done means open/edit actions use the configured editor rather than launching a new VS Code window.
