Feature Request: Saving rendered Table #113

Description

@satkowski

One problem I have with tools like sqlSeal and Dataview is, that the rendered output is only temporary. This means, that as soon as I remove the plugin or even use the files within another editor (e.g., VS Code), I cannot see the output of the query.

Therefore, I would like for a feature to save a version of the rendered output directly into the respective markdown file. I could imagine that an additional keyword (similar to "REFRESH" or "EXPLAIN" could be used, or the code block type could be something like "sqlseal-print". If any of such flags are present in the code, the code block will not get rendered as a table (as currently done) but will write the output below the code block in question. In editing mode, the code block is still rendered, while in reading mode, the code block gets hidden/removed.

Something like this would be really neat and would allow me to embed it entirely in my current workflow. Afterall, I want to have all my data present, even if I don't use a plugin anymore.
