Probably it's not possible, but there is very easy way to edit files on
distant host.

At first, use gnome menu "places" - "connect to server" (or something
similar, I have Polish version of Gnome). Select ssh as method, if you need
you can create shortcut. After then run gedit locally, select "open" from
menu, go to "places" (Alt-P in English locale) and use arrow keys to find
your shortcut. You will be able to select and edit files on distant host
even if gedit is not installed on this host.
