That would be a feature of the editor, not the OS.  And that method 
doesn't work for either of the traditionally popular Unix/Linux editors 
(emacs and vi).  In fact I'd consider any editor that did that to be 
broken since a colon is a perfectly valid part of a file name.

However both of those support:

"$external_editor +$current_line_number $file_path"
