The Calibre editor certainly supports plugins. Look for the [Editor Plugin] prefix in the Plugin Thread. I've written one myself. Also: https://manual.calibre-ebook.com/cre...t-book-plugins

However... I have absolutely no feel for what the OP is asking for help with. It almost sounds like they're looking for a way to add menu items to Calibre's existing editor menus. Which I don't believe is possible (other than the plugin's own menu/submenus, of course). I certainly can't see why any plugin would be trying to add a menu item titled "Plugins" to its own gui.

I also don't see a single call to any of Calibre's plugin API functions (editor or library). All I see is a standalone PyQt6 MainWindow program. If they're trying to write their own epub editor program from the ground up, calibre is not needed.
