New options for deploying?

I love how easy and seamless this plugin makes development.

Chrome has this special feature, where extensions can access file URLs.
What I used to do before is create a local file and @require it in the script comment with an empty body, which made things simpler - you can use an IDE instead of the built in editor, and you don't need to reimport.
For example @require file:///C:/Users/martixy/Desktop/Scripts/my-script.user.js

The plugin already has the build.metaFileName which is really nice, so I think it would be useful to have an option to put the full local build as a require for the meta file only, and maybe also have a command to deploy only the meta+local require.
Like maybe a build.metaFileRequireLocalBuild config option and a deploylocal command (also probably rename the preview command to "deploy" in package.json).

You can kind of hack around vite.config.js to achieve (most of) the same result, but it'd be nice to have that as a first-party option.

You don't seem to monitor discussions, so moving this over to issues.

Sorry for the late reply

I don't find any features that attract me. Could you provide a sample code demo.zip or a pull request ?

Seems like someone already made a PR. 😅

I looked it over and it seems exactly what I wanted here.
