Support GUI Editing Of Included (Common/Base) Files

[polskikrol]

Describe the enhancement

Please see the following: https://esphome.io/components/substitutions/#bonus-yaml-insertion-operator.

Since I am using multiple ESPHOME devices as bluetooth proxies, where just their names, IP addressing, and keys/passwords change, I created a base.yaml file in a newly created common directory. So, I include this file as follows:

substitutions:
  esphome_name: hostname

<<: !include common/base.yaml

Of course, I can modify the substitutions per device, but I cant use the built in web server editor in the docker container to modify this common/base.yaml file that I am importing.

Use cases

Similar to how we maintain access to a secrets.yaml file and allow editing via the GUI, would like to see a way to edit included files -- in addition to creating new and deleting from the GUI.

This was discussed multiple times. Basically the interface has to be as simple as possible and to cover most of uses, which it does. If you want to use some advanced things, then there is the Studio Code Server Addon OR if you are running it anywhere else, then it is totally in your hands.

There is https://editor-4-esphome.github.io/getting-started/install-standalone/ for more advanced scripting and such. I just want to have the ability to edit other yaml files which I include. Using substitutions and includes is a standard supported esphome construct.. so why not support editing the files you import?
