Research direction
The issue requests a plugin to edit Solarus maps and tilesets, which are Lua based. The Solarus documentation links provide format details. A new plugin would need to implement import/export for these formats, likely using Tiled's plugin system in C++. The issue has been open since 2019 with no assignees or PRs, indicating it is available but requires significant effort.
