Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

When debugging and playtesting dialogue it would be nice to be able to navigate to a specific talk_topic sometimes, without having to find and talk to that npc to test it. This would allow quick short term testing.

Solution you would like.

In the debug menu create a new suboption, "dialogue". We're gonna be adding more there soon.

Add "open a talk_topic" option.

When selected this brings up a searchable list of all talk_topics that are loaded. Selecting one opens an otherwise normal talker window.

Describe alternatives you have considered.

We can work around this by finding the NPC and navigating to the topic, but this would make quick tests a lot easier and is important infrastructure for later.

Additional context

Step 1 of a proposed dialogue editor project.
