"Open in a new window" does not support custom inspectors

[Pituivan]

Description of the bug

When opening an specific asset in a new Window, it always displays the asset's default inspector. If you have a custom editor for it, it won't be displayed. This is specially annoying to me since I have some assets that can only be properly edited from their corresponding custom editor.

Reproduction steps

Create a ScriptableObject class and make a custom editor for it. Now, open the ScriptableObject in a new Window using Inspect+. It will not show the custom editor.

Platform specs

• Unity version: 6000.1.0f1 (Unity 6.1)
• Platform: Windows
• How did you download the plugin: Via git url from the package manager.

I didn't know you could create custom editors for ScriptableObjects. I'll check it out. Out of curiosity, may I ask why you aren't using Unity's "right click->Properties..." window? I had created Inspect+ before that was a thing and at the present time, I'm using Inspect+ mostly in Debug Mode.

Well, to answer your question, I didn't know that existed lol

In case you still want to check this out, in order to save you some headaches, you can get a VisualElement representing the default or custom inspector of any Unity Object this way:

• If you have directly the reference to the UnityEngine.Object:

Object theObjectYouWantToInspect;

var inspector = new InspectorElement(theObjectYouWantToInspect); // This is a VisualElement

• In case you have the reference to the SerializedObject representing the Object you want to inspect:

SerializedObject serializedObj;

var inspector = new InspectorElement(serializedObj);

I've tested opening a ScriptableObject that uses a CustomEditor in a new Inspect+ tab on Unity 6000.1.5f1 and 2021.3.41f1. The custom editor was working fine in my tests. Are you able to reproduce this on a simple ScriptableObject?
