Peter, it's been some years since we communicated about your needs for the Zotero Metadata Importer (ZMI) plugin when I was first developing it in 2016.
I imagine what you describe correlates with the new 'Highlights to Obsidian' plugin.
I have been working on all things bibliographical so far this year in my Job Spy and Extract RIS Citations plugins.
What you describe overlaps sufficiently with what I have been doing that I could take a stab at creating a small (in visible size) new Job Spy tool that floats over the Library View and intelligently shows the contents of whatever custom columns is under the cursor at the moment. Perhaps with a manual override radio-button-group 'type of text' control in case the tool guesses wrong about needing to show plain text or markdown or html. Not multiple tabs, but a single tab with a group of 3 radio-buttons, one for each type, plus a 'guesser' that is as good as I can make it. Guessing wrong would have the trivial cost of a single mouse-click on a radio-button.
I assume that the tool would show a cell's text as WYSIWYG, without any editor, and that any editing would be done using F2 directly in the Library View cell. A refresh button in the tool would update what it shows from the Library View cell.
Thoughts?
