Embedding an external text editor in quartus

Hi 

 

I'm using Notepad++ as my text editor and I would like to use as the Quartus default editor as well. 

I had no problems defining it in the option menu, and even managed to define it so when I use the "locate -> design file" it will open the file in the right line. 

 

now, I want to have the other way around also, for example to be able to select a net in the design file, right click it, have the locate menu available, and view the net in the RTL viewer. 

 

Is it possible? Is there another free and advanced text editor that will allow it? 

 

Thanks in advance.

can the Quartus text editor even do this? 

 

it may be possible with scripting, when you do a Locate > RTL Viewer in TimeQuest it runs the command: 

 

locate -rtl {my_reg} 

 

so there must be a Tcl library that could be (ab)used here
