Switch to Modal window to allow more editor control

Problem/Motivation

The custom editor is limited in what it offers in terms of customising the editor experience, such as:

  • Ability to add links, bold, underline within the editor
  • Ability to add field descriptions within the editor such as explaining that automated numbering is in place if left blank

How it currently looks:

Proposed resolution

Suggest we switch to Drupal's modal window like https://www.drupal.org/project/ckeditor5_embedded_content does. Here is a proof of concept screenshot implemented in the way that module does, but as an inline object instead. Before considering refining this into a merge request, would like to gauge whether there is even appetite for this or whether I should create it as a separate module (would rather contribute to this module of course!).
