Description
The Locales section displays how the string is localized to different languages. This is super helpful, but doesn't work in the following cases:
- When the string is complex and, therefore, is not displayed entirely.
- When you want to edit the string in one of the related locales.
Currently, the only way to open the string in a different locale (to view/edit) is to craft a URL manually, since clicking on the entries in the Locales section just triggers autofill (no way to open as a link). We need to allow opening a page with a string, either by enabling right-clicking or adding a dedicated UI element (a link or a button).

Research direction
Start at the UI component that renders the Locales section and trace how clicking an entry currently triggers autofill. Add a discoverable way to open the related locale string for viewing or editing, then verify that the link or button works without breaking autofill and supports normal browser link actions.
