That's on Windows, of course.

Oh, plenty of text editors do that. They're checking the original document, not the temp files created from expanding a zipfile for editing.
You can only compare Notepad++ -- and gedit and gVim and presumably many others, for that matter -- to Sigil in the context of suggesting that Sigil notice when the EPUB itself has been updated.
Personally, I don't feel the need for this feature much.
What the OP is asking is more akin to a way to modify the current Notepad++
buffer, without touching the disk at all.
Which is why I really do think the only way is to use a plugin to change the file(s)
inside the application.
