### What issue do you have?

Not really an issue, but more of a question: would it be possible to use the Joplin Terminal app as an external editor with the destop-version? Currently, I'm using Typora as an external editor and it works basically fine. However, it cannot add links to other notes or do other cool stuff that the desktop version can do. Would it be possible to do that with the terminal app?
