I was running into the same issue and found a nice way to handle this. Using VS Code and the docker extension, get the container running. In the list of Containers, right click on the one you want to edit. Choose: Attach Visual Studio Code.

Another VS Code instance should open up that is directly attached to the container. Click on the Open Folder and navigate to the file you wish to edit. Pour a nice stout, chill for a moment, then get back to coding. :)
