Yep, having access to an external audio sample editor would be nice and convenient in most situations.
But... there's a catch: once you save the changes made to the audio file how is it going to notify qtractor that you're done with it and thus recache the clip into session? That's the tricky part: once you change the files externally you'll start having inconsistencies that will be only cleared upon a complete session reload. Not quite seamless I say.
Unless... one might keep all external editing files booked and scan periodically for a file-system status change (eg. fstat) and thus get the clip reset on the spot. Hey... that sounds like a brand new sub-project on its own to me :D

Anyway, got this one noted.
