It would be great if the plugin could update the displayed content if the file was modified (touch'ed) externally.

Hi. Plugin currently supports delta memory mode, which can't support this by definition. But native wrapper to IntelliJ file handling might be possible, just not any time soon...

Native file wrapper was added in version 0.2.3. To use it, it is necessary to associate file with "Binary File" file type in Options/Editor/File Types settings. "Open as Binary" actions still doesn't reflect external changes automatically.
