Comment:

 I've been working on this feature in the context of the
 [https://github.com/xwp/wp-customize-posts Customize Posts] plugin. The
 following videos were taken chronologically as additional features and
 refinements have been made (e.g. the last video introduces the TinyMCE
 editor).

 1) Demonstration of hooking into edit post links so that they actually
 work in the Customizer and expand the section to edit the given post (as
 opposed to the link doing nothing at all when clicked), as well as shift-
 clicking on the title and content (needs better discovery UI, see #27403):

 2) Demonstration of integration with [https://github.com/xwp/wp-customize-
 setting-validation Customize Setting Validation] (#34893) to gracefully
 handle failures to save due to post locking and concurrent user editing:

 3) Demo featuring the WP visual rich text editor (TinyMCE), including the
 insertion of images from the media library. Post content can be edited in
 the Customizer and previewed in multiple contexts. For example, this
 allows you to preview how a Read More tag will appear when the post
 appears on a post list page, and you can navigate to the single post to
 continue previewing subsequent paragraphs. You can expand the editor into
 a full-screen mode to focus on writing and then quickly preview the
 changes on the site by toggling the editor. You can make changes to as
 many posts as you want, but none of the changes will go live until you hit
 Save & Publish: everything is previewed so there is no “save and
 surprise”.
