[FR] Please add the option to open media in new pane to the side

[maximbelyayev]

When using command "Media Extended: Open media", please provide an option to open the media in a panel to the side. I have an existing template for videos and triggering the command in a note should open the media as shown below:

This way, I'm able to open media in a note I've already created, or use it when creating a new note from Templater. Plugin "Timestamp Notes" accomplishes this, which I currently use as a substitute.

I believe this was the default behavior before 3.0. Currently, with this release we are forced follow this plugin's random workflow which is opening a media in a new full-size window, and having to click a star to creating a "Media note":

The plugin is great and your work is much appreciated, but please at least provide this option, or provide an option for creating a template / working with Templater. Thanks!

As an aside, for those interested I also modified styles.css so that media is centered in the pane.

Before: .mx .data-\[view-type\=video\]\:aspect-video[data-view-type=video]{aspect-ratio:16 / 9}

After: .mx .data-\[view-type\=video\]\:aspect-video[data-view-type=video]{aspect-ratio:16 / 9;display:inline;}

open media command is using the same logic as quick switcher, you need to use mod keys with enter to open to the side
