Interpreting column as HTML AND Markdown

I have two questions:

1.)
There is the possibility to create columns as "plain text formatting using markdown". But – in contrast to columns interpreted as HTML – you can't see the formatted markdown version when you open the field.

I know that you can see the markdown version in the book details panel. But why not also when you open the field from the database library view?

2.)
I have book annotations (highlights and notes) from different book formats (EPUB, Kindle, PDF) using different tools for exporting my notes. Some of these tools export highlights/notes as text, some as HTML and some as Markdown.

I would need a field where my annotations could be interpreted in all three different formats. I envisage a field with three tabs. It would be similar to the field for HTML but not with two tabs "Normal view", "HTML source", but with three tabs "Source view", "HTML" and "Markdown".

Would this be feasible?

Cheers,
Peter
