[Feature Request]: Enable opening the pipeline/workflow from the edit menu.

[dmainou]

What would you like to happen?

• When you click on a transform icon it gives you a menu with the option of opening the pipeline, editing or doing other things.
• When you click on the transform name you are in edit mode. If you made a mistake and wanted to open the underlying pipeline you need to click on cancel, click on the icon, click on open underlying pipeline. Worse, for those of us that are mentally challenge and would click on the step name twice.

It would be amazing to have icons that enable opening the pipeline/workflow and/or the step menu from the edit menu. (of course, if you modified anything, a pop up asking you to save).

My fat fingered brain will thank you eternally!

That's a good one @dmainou!

It would be nice to make all those transforms and actions more consistent. We could add a new and open button next to the browse button.

You can use SHIFT+CTRL and a mouse click on the transformation/action to open the referenced object directly
or juste hit the Z key to open that item in a new tab.

We could also develop a widget like MetaSelectionLine but for files, to standardize interfaces and in some cases offer more possibilities (Open, New, ...) for pipelines/workflow, for example.
