Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Currently, to view a data.frame within a named list or similar object, you have to manually type View(MyObject$MyDF) in the console. This makes viewing nested data less convenient.
Describe the solution you'd like
I’d like a View button for not just the parent object but also for its child objects, allowing easier access to nested data.

Research direction
The issue concerns the Workspace Viewer and nested R objects such as MyObject$MyDF. Start by tracing how the viewer exposes a parent object's children and its existing View action; done means child data.frames in named lists or similar objects expose a View button without manual console commands.
