You can. Put your point on the read-only copied text content in
main.org (transcluded text) and press "e" to call the
"org-transclusion-live-sync-start" command. The transcluded text and
source will get an overlay, which lets you edit and sync the changed
content real-time. This works both ways.
There are some restrictions if the source file is Org file; you will get
a message telling you that you cannot activate live-sync for these
cases. This is due to the way I use Org elements. I might be able to
find a way later with this helpful community. The restriction is
documented in the docstring of the "live-sync-start" command. Here is
an excerpt:
For transclusions of Org elements or a buffer, live-sync works
only on the following elements: center-block, drawer,
dynamic-block, latex-environment, paragraph, plain-list,
quote-block, special-block table, and verse-block.
Let me know if you have more questions. Thank you for taking interest :)
