Perhaps as a plugin? See discussion at https://discord.com/channels/823971286308356157/996877076982415491/1076869765290803290

It could perhaps use the bundled JSON Forms that I built for datasette-scraper: https://github.com/cldellow/datasette-scraper/tree/master/jsonforms-bundle

How would we convey the schema to be used?

Possibility 1: in metadata.json

{ "databases": {
    "mydb": {
      "tables": {
        "mytable": {
          "plugins": {
            "dux-json-schema": {
              "mycolumn": { ... json schema goes here ... }

Possibility 2: in the templates directory
- schema-{tablename}-{columnname}.json in the templates folder
- if it is table-unspecific, just schema-{columnname}.json

To be consistent with existing datasette templates, it should probably be:
schema-mydatabase-mytable-mycolumn.json
