You can achieve this with native messaging [0] in tridactyl [1]:

It's really cool, I've added an option to open these windows in floating mode automatically in my sway config through another application name iirc. Ans then I press a simple shortcut, and it opens my editor (Helix) with the already entered text and once I close it, it'll transfer the text from that temporary file which was open in your editor to the the input field/textare again.

The comm with Ghost is real-time, so it doesn't transfer just on close/open (if I understood your description correctly), so you can go drag&drop an image in the form and get a web app's link in the editor right away

But this is still too limited (only browser, needs another window, needs a shortcut)
