For advanced users, the current (1.7) code would allow someone to "trick" the Launch External xHTML Editor into watching all of the xhtml resources while sending the full path of the opf file (as well as the currently selected xhtml resource) to something other than PageEdit. Just create a script named "pageedit" (or pageedit.bat or pageedit.cmd on Windows) and define it as the External xHTML Editor. That should open the door to custom parsing of the opf and the potential to create custom routines for editing multiple xhtml resources.
