SMT: Add navigation from Current Values display to Tag Editor

Many times I have been in SMT and looking at current values.  But some of the values are not correct, I have to copy the name of the PI tag, go to Point Builder, either search for the PI tag or start to type the PI tag in search and then populate the tabs with the PI tag details.  Or option #2 is to export current values to CSV, open the CSV file, copy & paste the PI tag to PI builder.   Here is my feature request: In PI SMT -> Data -> Current Values, if we want to edit the PI tag - can you add at the bottom of the context menu "Edit PI Tag".  Once you have a PI tag highlighted, the context menu has this new option.  When you click on the "Edit PI Tag", it immediately pops you over to the Point Builder and populates the tabs with the PI Tag details.   See Attachment.   Once the user clicks on the line with a valid PI tag and they click edit, SMT switches over to the Point Builder and the selected PI tag is added to the list of current PI tags & is being edited in the PI Tag tabs.   Thanks for any potential value of this feature - hopefully my fellow PI Admins will chime in on this

After further evaluation, we have decided to decline this item, as we are not planning on implementing it in the near future due to other high priority items across the PI System. Thank you for your feedback, and know that we are listening and reviewing every item that gets submitted!

    Yes! I've been wanting this feature for years now. This would make it so much simpler when troubleshooting tags like Darren. This would be an easy enhancement and save me so much typing and aggravation. Let me know if we need to have a bake sale or something to get this implemented. I'm in for a plate of cookies!

    This gets a vote from me. A simple "copy" on the name of the tag in current values would go a long way too. Example: I am checking data flow from an interface. I search for all tags on that interface via current values. I see that some of the tags have recent data. I want to check if they have frozen values or if the data actually updates. I then have to type the tag name manually into notepad and then copy it from there into archive editor. Is it allowed to point out that we are in the year 2020? How is it not possible to copy the name of the tag to clipboard? Even better would be to have "open in archive editor" and "open in point builder" options when you right click a tag. That would then simply just copy the tag name to that tab and redirect you there.
