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?

See for new JS Release:

The new Tool is under "Look and Feel> Comments MLTFViewer". The ugly tool name is temporary until I dream up a better one. 'MLTFViewer' means "Multiple Long Text Format Viewer" .
Also, an explanatory image is attached.
I only spent a few hours on this, copying and pasting from my many plugins and other JS Tools, so obviously it is still in alpha testing. However, as the image demonstrates, it worked perfectly on snippets of markdown, plain and html text that I randomly copied from Wikipedia.
If this tool is worth keeping, I will move it all over to the Job Spy thread and continue development.
