Review as modal instead of a custom view

[DaveyUS]

I'm requesting this without the knowledge of how difficult this would be to achieve... but I think having the review act as it's own pop-out panel would solve a couple of problems. Take a look at my Settings panel as I have it configured via CSS:

It dims and blurs the rest of obsidian, allowing for a more focused, zen-like setting-changing experience. Something like this would be really great for reviewing flashcards. Also, I find that with the current implementation as a page, if I close or reload the app it will relaunch with a blank page that I have to close out of. I'd imagine this change would probably take care as well.

Again I don't know how difficult this would be to pull off, but I think it would be worth it!

This is definitely something that is possible, but I think there are advantages to both approaches.

A modal for the review view is more focused, while a custom view allows you to quickly fix typos or errors without closing the review view. I will look into this and see which works best, or if both have their trade-offs I might implement it as a setting.

As for the review view not keeping its state after closing or reloading the app, I split that into a separate issue, #4.

Good point. For me, typos will be very rare, so hitting the open file button to edit wouldn't be much of a chore when it does happen inside a modal. There will for sure be people who would prefer a page though, so having an option would be the best approach.
