I want to implement an extension to display a graphical presentation for a binary file. I have had a look at markdown extension. But it displays the customized preview window with the default editor window side by side. So I want to know:

  1. Is there a method to only open the preview window (customized) without opening the default editor window.
  2. Can the default editor window be embedded in a customized window
    It will be great if extension developers can freely compose their customized window with the internal VSCode views such as Editor, Tab, etc.
