In Vitepress, you can add custom components/widget/gadgets into determined named ""slots"", like so:
```
doc-top
doc-bottom
doc-footer-before
doc-before
doc-after
...
```
Would be great to do in both Python and Javascript, with the upcoming JavaScript API #2052. In `datasette-write-ui`, all we do is add a few ""Insert row"" and ""edit this row"" buttons and that required completely capturing the `table.html` template, which isn't great for other plugins. But having ""slots"" like `table-footer-before` or `table-row-id` or something would be great to work with.
