[feature]: include code-snippets from urls
1~3 main use cases of the proposed feature
As a developer I would like to refer snippets of code from existing repositories, instead of copying them into a "knowlage base". Therefore it would be great, to directly refer directly into files on GitLab or GitHub, with "line 30-38" or "function abc()". Knowing that there is real code used for this page, could also enable an notification system, letting me know, that the page might have to be updated, due to changed references. This will avoid outdated documentation.
Ideas for solution
Keep the "snipped" for codes, but instead of copying in the code, just add a url-reference, that might include line numbers
i.E. https://github.com/toeverything/AFFiNE/blob/bcf3a04500cf21a4986eff9d95f95a711303aba2/libs/datasource/jwst/src/lib.rs#L2
Affine should copy the code into the page, so that it is available even if i.E. Github is down. Also it could check on page reloads, if the file has been changed, and inform the author, that this page might have to be updated.
