1. Attach itself to the SQL code editor (switch from SQL -> PRQL/Logica, additional syntax highlighting)
2. Add ""Query using PRQL"" buttons in various parts of Datasette's UI, like `/dbname` page
3. Use `$LANGUAGE=` instead of `sql=` in the JSON API and the SQL results pages
4. Have their own dedicated code editor page


1) and 2) would be difficult to do with current plugin hooks, unless we add the concept of ""slots"" and get the JS plugin support in. 3) could maybe be done with the [`asgi_wrapper(datasette)`](https://docs.datasette.io/en/stable/plugin_hooks.html#asgi-wrapper-datasette) hook? And 4) ca n be done easily with the `register_routes()` hooks. 

So it really only sounds like extending the SQL editor will be the hard part. In #2094 I want to add JavaScript plugin hooks for extending the SQL editor, which may work here. 

If I get the time/motivation, I might try out a `datasette-prql` extension, just because I like playing with it. It'd be really cool if I can get the `asgi_wrapper()` hook to work right there...","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",1900026059,

In Vitepress, you can add custom components/widget/gadgets into determined named ""slots"", like so:

```
doc-top
doc-bottom
doc-footer-before
doc-before
doc-after
...
```

Would be great to do in both Python and Javascript, with the upcoming JavaScript API #2052. In `datasette-write-ui`, all we do is add a few ""Insert row"" and ""edit this row"" buttons and that required completely capturing the `table.html` template, which isn't great for other plugins. But having ""slots"" like `table-footer-before` or `table-row-id` or something would be great to work with.
