Double-click to open a sub-report in the Report Designer

When designing reports and using Sub-Report elements, it could be nice to have a way of opening the report linked through the element. Currently, you need to find that report manually based on the ReportSource value.

Hi Smiljan,

Thanks for the great suggestion.

As the ReportSource of a Sub-Report can be of various types they can not necessarily always be resolved in the Designer. This will result in the user might be confused when double-clicking the sub-report item without anything happening. Because of this, we suggest adding a context-menu option instead. By right-clicking the sub-report, an option can be to "Open Report". This will appear disabled when the ReportSource is of a type that the Designer can not resolve, and be enabled if it is possible.
