Are iWork Attachments editable in Apple Notes?

If I attach for example a .numbers file to Apple Notes I cannot open and edit this file from Notes without creating a copy. This is not happening when I try to edit a Microsoft Office file attached to a note. It works great,

Whats going on?

Thanks,

MacBook Air 13", macOS 10.14

Notes App - Unable to Copy & Paste Formatted Text to a New Note The ability to copy & paste formatted text from one note to another new note has been lost in the past 1-2 days. I have been doing this for a long time which is an extremely convenient feature but it suddenly stopped working. I am using a MacBook Pro 2019 with macOS Big Sur 11.4. Any idea how to duplicate a note or to copy & paste formatted text to a new note?

Importing Multiple HTML files into Apple Notes I have few thousand notes in Notion, but I would like to move them to Apple Notes. Notion allows for exporting the Notes as HTML. When I import them using an iPad, I can do it only one by one. Plus, the HTML file gets attached to a Note. Furthermore, Apple notes app does not index the content of the HTML attachment file like it does for PDFs and other text files. I would like to know what the behavior is on a macOS. If I select multiple HTML files and import them to Apple Notes, do they all get attached to a single Note? Do they create a like for like Notes as a true Import should work? Any answer is appreciated.

You can certainly open the Notes Numbers document attachment with a Quick Look (right-click) and from there open it in Numbers. You are correct that you cannot make changes to the original Numbers document, and must make a duplicate.
