Yes
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Sometimes I want to manipulate text in my main text editor because it has more features that HeyNote does not (join/split lines, multiple cursor selection, remove duplicate lines, sorting, search / replace, things like this).
Describe the solution you'd like
A shortcut that opens the block in my text editor (for example by saving it to a temporary language appropriate filename and opening the default application for that, or whatever you think best). I don't need to set the editor in the preferences, I think? After saving the file in the editor, heynote would update the block with the updated content, similar to how crontab -e works.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Script a macro that selects the block's content and saves this into a file and opening it, and figure out how to copy the text back into HeyNote.
Edit the scratch.txt file directly in another editor and make sure the content is in there. (would lose support for the block concept, and potentially invalidate the structure of the file.
Thanks for your consideration.

I can see that this could be a useful feature. However, it still feels like a bit of an edge case, and the complexity required to implement it in a way that plays nice with the rest of the codebase makes me think that the benefit don't outweigh the drawbacks.
I'd much rather implement/improve editing functionality of Heynote i order to hopefully remove the need to use an external editor. Multiple cursors already exist in Heynote (Cmd+Up/Down, Cmd-d with some text selected to select the next occurence, Opt+Click)
