Traverse archive files as if they were directories

[git-rz]

As a java developer, I often wish to browse and preview files inside a .jar file. Sometimes the .jar is in .war, or a .zip. Midnight Commander allows me to navigate into the archive files as if they were simple directories, and can even do this when the archives are nested one inside another.

I'd love for yazi to have this capability as well.

Describe alternatives you've considered

The alternative is to keep using mc when I need to do this.

Additional context

Basic viewing of files is a good place to start. Recreating the archives upon modifications to the files would be a next step.

Clarification: Creating a custom previewer for a specific type of file is already in the plans, and is expected to be released with Yazi v0.1.6, see #182. The following says "treat files as directories":

This has always been the feature I wanted, but I don't have enough time to implement it, it will be a long-term goal unless someone drives it forward

[sxyazi]

Hey, Yazi now allows users to create custom preloader and previewer - this feature will be shipped with Yazi v0.2.0. See #401 for more information.

As for "archives as directories", I have added it to the Feature Requests, closing the issue in favor of that list.
