Draw.io already allows creating editable PNGs and SVGs: it embeds the diagram definition in the image metadata. You can then import this image like you would import any other .drawio diagram

The VSCode integration is the cherry on top. All files with the correct extension (such as xxx.drawio.png) will automatically open for edit in the draw.io UI embedded in the IDE.

I use this feature often to build on top of the previously made diagrams.
