Description

Would it be possible to have an option to modify the xml of a specific item directly within the software?
For example, I click on a grid, then select a block, say a reactor, right click and an option allows me to modify the xml code for that reactor directly.

This would be a great place to modify things like the name of the reactor, or the amount of uranium inside it, or perhaps modify the running state, or any of the numerous items in the xml file itself.

Another example, I click on a grid, and click the edit xml option and it shows the xml for the entire grid.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points; begin by locating the grid/block selection and context-menu UI in the desktop application. Define the scope for editing one item's XML versus an entire grid, then verify that edits to fields such as name, uranium amount, and running state are persisted without breaking the save.
