Description
Would like to see a checkbox in External tools settings to make it possible to open files from assets view with associated programs using double click instead of right-clicking and selecting an item in the context menu for scripts, shaders, images and so on.

Research direction
Start in the Editor's External tools settings and assets view, tracing how context-menu actions open scripts, shaders, images, and other files. Done means a settings checkbox controls whether double-clicking an asset opens it with its associated program instead of requiring the context menu.
