for example, I wanna use angular-xeditable in `dashboard_listing.js`, what should I do?

PS: `dashboard_listing.js` located at `src/core_plugins/kibana/public/dashboard/listing/dashboard_listing.js`

I tried below but failed with `Unknown provider: xeditableProvider <- xeditable`

```auto
//src/core_plugins/kibana/public/kibana.js
import 'angular-xeditable/dist/css/xeditable.min.css';
import 'angular-xeditable/dist/js/xeditable.min';

...

modules.get('kibana', ['xeditable']).run(Notifier.pullMessageFromUrl);

```

```auto
//src/core_plugins/kibana/public/dashboard/listing/dashboard_listing.js

...

export function DashboardListingController($injector, $scope) {
  const $filter = $injector.get('$filter');
  const confirmModal = $injector.get('confirmModal');
  
  const xeditable = $injector.get('xeditable'); //error here
  ...
}

```

We don't recommend forking and modifying the code directly as it makes upgrades painful. What are you trying to achieve with xeditable? If Kibana is missing some functionality, filing a github issue might be a good route, or alternatively, if it's very specific functionality you are looking for, writing a plugin might be another avenue to explore.
