Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Not a problem, just evolution

Describe the solution you'd like
Currently the UI allows submission, but not edition of an object, which is retrieval, edit and saving an object.

Describe alternatives you've considered
TinyMCE and QuillJS were two editors that we considered for such a job.

Additional context

I am a bit puzzled here. How are WYSIWYG text editors helpful in editing RPSL objects?

I'm not sure what Rubens' intention is.

But I feel like a simple way to edit objects through the web interface would help those who are reluctant to use email be more IRR compliant.

Currently the UI interface only allows submissions, doesn't get the current object or shows the objects for a mntner.

Ah I see what you mean. Editing from the existing actually supported, but not exposed if you don't use IRRD internal auth, so you can do this: https://irrd.as213279.net/ui/rpsl/update/RIPE/mntner/RIPE-NCC-END-MNT/
But the main purpose is to provide a secure way of the same thing you would send in an email, i.e. it expects you to figure out what object you want to submit.
