Description
Currently the typed code is the only "first-class" code view; switching optimization state or other manipulations returns you to the typed view. However, in the longer run it might be nicer to make all the views have the same status, switching modes only when you choose the given selector. We might want to suppress certain options that aren't relevant to particular views from the menu.
Given our callsite display, we probably shouldn't do that until we can annotate, e.g., the source code with type information. To be robust it will require something like https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/issues/31162.

Research direction
No source file, test, or entry point is identified in the issue. Read the proposed view and mode behavior together with JuliaLang/julia#31162 first, then identify the relevant implementation and tests; done means the view-selection requirements and annotation constraints are clear.
