Description
Many editors such as vim and emacs allow you to open a file at a specific line/column. For emacs, you can pass emacs +line:column file. For vim, you can do +line (don't know how to open to a particular column).
It would be awesome if the open in editor command did this, so that it places you where your cursor was.

Research direction
Start by locating the open-in-editor command and how it receives the current cursor position. Review the editor invocation behavior described for Emacs and Vim, then determine how line and column positions should be passed. Done means the command opens the current file at the saved cursor position for the supported editors.
