Contextual Menu In Assembly: Open Part

Would be a useful feature that you can right-click a part in the graphics window of an assembly, and open the component/part in a new tab directly, versus finding the part in the tree and opening from there.

If you double click the part so the component is selected you do get the option to open the part.

This feature is already there with by first using the Left click hold method to get your selection menu.  The video will show this.

Thanks! 

I didn't know that trick, so good to know ... but the UX is a little buried. The double-click to select, then right click is a little bit more streamlined.

However, this one works for subassemblies within an assembly, where the double-clicking doesn't work (only seems to highlight the part being double-clicked).
