The idea would be to take inspiration and techniques from Sigil, not use the code directly.
Calibre itself is of course Metadata King, and together with Polish Books (I still read that like "books from Poland" half of the time ) it would replace Sigil's Metadata Editor. You have a ToC editor as well. These two parts of Sigil are the ones I personally use most.

How much work would you think it to be, if Calibre was extended with an EPUB/AZW3 file explorer and a code editor, based on some already existing component?
