  Hello again; I kept thinking about this, because I had something similar in the days I was forced to use Windows at work (TextEditorAnywhere), and decided I missed it too much on GNU/Linux not to figure something out.
  I call it vixf ($VISUAL X11 field). It's supposed to be called via hotkey from a window manager or sxhkd. Screencast attached.
  It seems to install with pipx. On GNU/Linux, you need to install xclip(1) too.

  1. A screencast demonstrates vifx: editing text fields in a browser with a call to an external editor, in this example, vi.
  2. No result found on File_thumbnail lookup.
