When developing models it would be really useful to be able to jump to the data view for a specific table by right-clicking on the table in the field list and selecting "Data View" from the right click menu

RE: When right-clicking on the table name in the field list add the option to "show data"

In Power Pivot it is possible to jump directly to the data view of a table in the relationship/ model view by right-clicking on it. This is extremely useful and saves a lot of time when dealing with large models. Please add this feature to Power BI Desktop. It will increase productivity with this tool in a simple way. THANKS

When developing, there is a lot of left to right, right to left mouse movements when configuring the data views for some tables. It would be really helpful to have a right-click option for the data table (Data , right side) that says 'Open Data View' that opens the chosen table in the Data View mode.This prevents the user from having to go to Data View (left) and then reselecting the table (right).Saves time as the user wouldn't have to find the table again in data view modeLess wrist strainIt just makes sense to have.Thanks
