Marble is a great OSM viewer. It would be greater if it simplified the process
to edit maps by executing an external editor that opens the current Marble
view.

Of the three editors I'm aware, two already support that:
- Potlatch is OSM's web browser-based editor. Marble should open the default
browser with this syntax:
http://www.openstreetmap.org/edit?lat=22.064994&lon=113.971088&zoom=18

- JOSM is OSM's professional Java-based editor. Its syntax is (quoting from
josm --help):

[--download=]minlat,minlon,maxlat,maxlon Download the bounding box
[--download=]<url> Download the location at the url (with lat=x&lon=y&zoom=z)
[--download=]<filename> Open file (as raw gps, if .gpx)

Instead of --download=<bbox> you may specify osm://<bbox>

Merkaartor -- the obvious sidekick for Marble as it's also Qt-based --
currently does not support such command line arguments.
I've opened an enhancement request at http://trac.openstreetmap.org/ticket/3036
to adopt JOSM's syntax.

Reproducible: Didn't try
