There is /bin/E for this purpose. It's a little crude, returning after the file is first saved. (It doesn't cover ipso's security concerns.)

This all reminds me I have found the plumber to be a little bit inconvenient on occasion because it acts all Proper GUI: it sends the document to the Appropriate Application instead of opening it near where I'm looking. I've never entirely liked that. Back in the early 00s I had a powerful Emacs setup but abandoned it because I always wanted to start the editor in the terminal I was already looking at. Starting Emacs just took too long. I never did come up with the perfect solution, but subrios with their own plumer instances can help.
