filepicker: execute command on enter selection

Right now when a file is selected, the file is opened with $EDITOR. I'd like to make zellij open the file in my editor (helix btw) that is already open in a different panel instead creating a new panel. I know this is very specific to my setup.

So, it would be nice if I could configure what the filepicker plugin does by changing the ENTER to some arbitrary command. Whether this command takes the files/directories as in stdin or just $@ args does not matter to me.

Configuration could look like this:

shared_except "locked" {
// ...
    bind "Alt f" {
        LaunchPlugin "filepicker" {
            // floating true // uncomment this to have the filepicker opened in a floating window
            close_on_selection true // comment this out to have the filepicker remain open even after selecting a file

            cmd "my-custom-command.sh"
        };
    }
}
