Description
Type libraries are automatically applied when opening up binary. However you might be in the situation where you've opened a binary and applied annotations and then later you want to apply a TypeLibrary. This can be done easily with the API but isn't possible through the UI at the moment.

Research direction
Start by tracing the UI flow that applies a TypeLibrary while opening a binary, then compare it with the existing API path for applying one after opening. Done means the UI can apply a TypeLibrary to an already opened binary while preserving annotations made beforehand; no specific files or tests are named in the issue.
