Hi! This workbench embeds some external applications within a FreeCAD tab. For now it can start Mousepad, Inkscape and Gimp inside a tab on Linux with X11 (I'm switching to wayland, will "soon" try to figure out a way to do that with Wayland too, if possible).

Each application is described using just ~5 lines of code, so it's very easy to add new applications, although I'm happy to do it if anyone adds some info in https://wiki.freecadweb.org/User:Suzanne.soy/XternalApps_Workbench using the "Example" page as a template.

I'm currently working on a general mechanism to give access to the tools and plug-ins of an external app, Inkscape will be the first to be supported. Basically, you'll get access to pretty much all Inkscape extensions as parametric operations which work on 2D shapes in FreeCAD.
