My first guess is that the editorArea is associated with the
perspective, but editors themselves aren't. You can't place editors
when creating your perspective the way you can place views.

You can open editor programmatically from IWorkbenchPage#openEditor(...)

Create an actionSet that contributes to a menu, then check out an
example like org.eclipse.ui.actions.OpenFileAction
