Description
The current decoration API only allows to customized CSS for the ranged content.
It would be great to have a way to replace the decoration with customized Dom element, so what user sees is different from the real text content.
Current I am moving from CodeMirror to Monaco. For CodeMirror it allows to replace a range of text with customized dom using markText method like markText(start, end, { replacedWith: XXX}). replacedWith options could be a customized dom element.
I have not find a proper way to do that in Monaco.
Thanks!

Research direction
No source file, test, or playground entry point is provided. Start by reviewing Monaco's decoration API and comparing it with CodeMirror's markText and replacedWith behavior. Done would be a supported way to render a customized DOM element in place of a text range, with documented usage and validation.
