I have recently built a text editor, and would like for my player to interact with its world inside the level. I was wondering how I can embed the text editor, so that the screen pops up when it interacts with an object, for example spaceship. I am trying to achieve a gameplay where my game teaches people how to code. It would be good if I could embed my text editor into my game seamlessly with the player being able to answer questions, and find solutions.

Any suggestions?

Did I misunderstand?
Isn’t it “scene instance”?

If your text editor extends Control, then you can use it in the engine the same as any other GUI node.

Just in case you didn’t know, there is a TextEdit GUI control. The code editor in the engine uses it, so it’s pretty advanced as far as those types of GUI widgets go.
