Description

### 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!

Research direction

Start in the Hop Gui edit menu for transform steps and trace the existing action that opens the underlying pipeline or workflow. Add accessible actions for opening the pipeline/workflow and the step menu, preserving the save prompt when edits are unsaved; verify the behavior from both the transform name and icon interactions.
