Oh, absolutely. How I can see it working is that Potlatch could have a  
user pref saying "Offer alternate editor?" with a URL as previously  
described, and if you set that pref, then Potlatch would have a button  
when you started offering the ability to launch that. But yes, adding  
a "Please first choose your editor" dialogue would be nuts, UI-wise.
