Description

### Describe the Bug with repro steps

- create a consumption logic app
- add a bunch of junk actions
- fill in action inputs with previous actions' outputs (bonus points if you reference a json property that isnt natively exposed like 'body')

\-try to click on the field to edit or at least see what its referencing

\-nothing happens just dead clicks

\-hover over it so the tooltip will at least give you an idea of what the field is….nothing

\-the only available thing is to look at the code view, find the property you wanted to look at and copy it out of there and then click off the code view and continue. That is not a developer friendly experience.

### What type of Logic App Is this happening in?

Consumption (Portal)

### Additional context

This has always been a massive problem with logic apps. Anything I click that shows up as little boxes in the action's parameters should always open in the workflow expression window.
