[FEATURE]: Open File in Editor from WebUI #16725
Description
Feature hasn't been suggested before.
- I have verified this feature I'm about to request hasn't been suggested before.
Describe the enhancement you want to request
It would be nice to be able to open a specific file directly from the webUI in the preffered user's editor.
A list of popular IDE's like VSCode, Cursor, WebStorm, ... (*1) would be nice, which the user can chose per Dropdown Menu + functionality to persist this choice - so his last used editor is the default option for the "open in editor" button.
Such a button should be present imo at the following places in the GUI:
- patch tool block
- review file overview
- specific file review
[*1] Since listing all existing editors isnt feasible it would probably be nice for a user to be able to manually add entries to this via the opencode.json or a similiar config. A functionality to specify a editor via name+command to invoke with a placeholder var for the filepath would allow this feature to be used by people with exotic editors.
Being able to do this additionally directly from the GUI would be top notch UX. For the start the most popular editors however should suffice, classic 80/20 rule

These are different feature requests
Issue #8003 proposes a claude-like diff-review workflow with an existing editor to review changes generated by the LLM. This is definitely different from a simple "open in editor" button.
Issue #12539 proposes the ability to open user-inputted files to the input area
