How to call a custom editor?

Unity Engine

Hiya folks,

So, let me see if i can cut this short.

I have a class which I used a custom inspector for. It is ripped(i.e. less code shown)
Assume proper namespacing is used and the following work.

TLDR: I need some way to inserting a custom inspector into my window when selecting an item(which is cached). How can I do this? Below scripts, I want a fill in for “DrawCustomInpsector” spot below.

[System.Serializable]
public class BaseItem : ScriptableObject
{
    public string name;
        public int cost;
}

and custom editor below

[CustomEditor(typeof(BaseItem))]
[CanEditMultipleObjects]
public class EditorBaseItem : Editor
{
    public override void OnInspectorGUI ()
    {
         BaseItem item = (BaseItem)this.target;
         EditorGUILayout.TextField ("Item name<custom>:", item.name);
      
         // Opens up the window with the asset info
         if(GUILayout.Button("Modify"))
         {                       
             CreateItemWindow.ShowWindowWithProperties(item);
         }
    }
}

Now standard custom window script

[MenuItem("Window/Item Database Management")]
public static void ShowWindow()
{
    EditorWindow.GetWindow<BaseItemDatabaseWindow>();

    void OnGUI()
    {
        // SO, I have a scroll view on the left hand side. This contains my list of items.
        _item_selection_scroll_pos = GUI.BeginScrollView(new Rect(0f, 0f, position.width/3.5f, position.height), _item_selection_scroll_pos, new Rect(0f, 0f, position.width/4f, position.height*2));
       // Now, what I would like is when I select an item from the list. On the right hand side, the custom script appears.    
        int i = 0;
        foreach(BaseItem item in BaseItemDataBaseInstance.instance.main_data.data)
        {
            if(GUI.Button(new Rect(0, _height_offset * i++, position.width/3.5f, 20f), item.name))
            {
               // Store select item some how
               // _current_item = new SerializedObject(item);
               //_item = item;
            }
        }

        Rect right_side = new Rect(position.width/3.5f, 0.0f, position.width - position.width/3.5f, position.height);
        GUI.BeginGroup(right_side);
        if(/* we have the selected item */)
        {
            //DrawCustomInpsector<EditorBaseItem>(item)  // I wish....
        }
       GUI.EndGroup();

       this.Repaint();

Any insights? Only thing I know that will work is copying what I did in the editor into the editor window.

Figured it out with help from Unity Custom Inspector on Custom Window - Stack Overflow
What really helped with

Editor editor = Editor.CreateEditor(_item);
editor.OnInspectorGUI();
