Ok, now here's an opportunity for an INCREDIBLY powerful capability for VS.
Not only should should double-clicking on a table name in the Schema Editor
do this, but double clicking on the row number (or RecId, or some bullet or
per-record icon) of a record in the Related Table section of Data Browser
should:

1) Switch to the window displaying that table, or open a new window if none
yet exists.

2) Scroll the table so that the double-clicked record is visible.

3) Highlight that record.

4) NOT open an edit cursor on an unpredictable field value within that
record, as single-clicking on a row number currently does (Bug according to
Ruslan).

Given that this was implemented along with:

a) Remembering per-table column width settings,
b) Remembering window positions so that windows for various tables always
open in the same place,
c) Width problems are solved so that you only need a window that is as wide
as the number of columns of data you have rather than wasting massive
amounts of screen with white space and you could align the windows side by
side and see more than one at the same time.

THEN

You could simply double-click on row numbers of records to traverse links
throughout the database exceedingly rapidly and with great ease.  This would
be very powerful, and essentially provide a means for browsing V2 tables and
relations in a similarly powerful manner as REALinsight will provide for
traversing RB source code method references.
