When right clicking on the tab name of a data viewer editor, one of the context menu options is "Reopen editor with...". Nothing seems to happen when this is clicked, maybe this optoin doesn't make sense for data viewers.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue in a data viewer editor: right-click the tab name and select “Reopen editor with...”. Trace the data viewer’s tab context-menu handling to determine whether this option is intentionally unsupported. Done should mean the menu behavior is corrected and verified for data viewer editors.
