I found a (9 yo) plugin by @naveedahmada036 that does something like this for Google Sheets:

[https://github.com/naveed-ahmad/plugin\_discourse\_spreadsheet](https://github.com/naveed-ahmad/plugin_discourse_spreadsheet)

I tried it out, it more or less works (I need to whitelist google docs URLs). **EDIT** : I tried to whitelist option, but still not working well.

The plugin uses iframes (which are well supported in Discourse), This could be a solution for me, but I think it would be nicer to use javascripts.

This plugin also broke my WYSIWYG plugin basic editor, I wonder why.

**EDIT 2** : the plugin is actually by Daniel Fernández, I presume @Daniel_Fernandez_Pes
