I use the Notes feature of BBEdit and I'm grateful for it so that I don't have 
dozens of Untitled Text documents all over. But the Python Notebook format is a 
JSON file with a list of "cells". Each cell can be code or markdown. You can 
run the code in the editor by just pressing modkey+return. The results are 
shown directly below the cell.

Jupyter Notebooks are used heavily by the AI community. I don't know the 
history so I could totally be wrong about this, but I *think* this happened 
because AI educators (at universities) used Jupyter Notebooks to teach because 
you could mix the markdown that explains the code with the actual code and the 
ability to run it, so the instructors didn't need to make slides, the just made 
Notebooks. You can also run Jupyter Notebooks on the cloud easily and so I know 
Google Colab uses Jupyter Notebooks.

Mixing Markdown/HTML cells with code would probably require a lot of changes in 
BBEdit, which is why I am 99% sure the answer to my question would be no.
