 The fact that I've created 2 plugins and have no idea where the advanced
 area is shows maybe how well that would work. I'm not proposing a change
 to the README, rather in the plugin main file header (the contents of
 which I look up in the docs every time I create a new plugin anyway).

 I'm not sure I understand what you mean by not needing a Demo URL? Yes,
 you could add a link in the README file to a demo, but the idea is that
 you add a button next to "Download" that makes it obvious where you can
 find a demo or preview via WordPress Playground.

 Because the button that is added is either one that says "Live Preview"
 and goes to WP Playground or "Launch Demo" and goes to an external demo,
 it seems like the same functionality to me - or at the very least closely
 related.
