The UI has many interconnected parts like automations, scripts, helpers, scenes, and devices. Navigating between them could be much more fluid and intuitive if we could reduce the number of clicks and context switches needed for common editing tasks. For example, when editing an automation that uses a script action, if the script needs to be modified, the user must leave the automation editor, navigate to the scripts list, find it, edit it, and then navigate back.
I'd like to see a "Go to Definition" or "Edit in Place" pattern that provides a direct shortcut to edit referenced entities. This could be implemented with platform-specific UX in mind (new tab on desktop, modal/overlay on mobile) and would preserve the state of the original editor to prevent data loss.
