I could only think of a rather hackish way to do this (see below), but
we should maybe have a reload from editor hook that you could script in
Lua/Perl/Ruby/JavaScript ...

This thing uses the --remote switch which really isn't ideal because it
will cause the screen to be cleared so you have to press ^L to redraw
it. ;)

elinks-0.11.0-gef05126:~/src/elinks/0.12 > cat editor
#!/bin/sh

vi $@

url="g asdf"
(sleep 1; elinks --remote "$url") &
elinks-0.11.0-gef05126:~/src/elinks/0.12 > EDITOR=./editor ./src/elinks ...
