Show Object in Name Mapping shall provide the possibility to map it

I have got an idea for a new context menu entry in the Object Browser. Sometimes you might not be sure anymore if a certain object is already mapped or not. At the moment it is like this: You can rightclick the object you picked with the Object Spy and choose "Show Object in Name Mapping" editor. If it is not mapped yet, you get an error message.



Nice would be the option to map it directly using this dialog and continue to the Name Mapping.

    The necessary information is already available.  See screenshot attached.



    Essentially, in the object browser, you can see the "Mapped Name" property for any highlighted item.  If the item does not have a mapping that matches, that field is blank.  You can then, in the right-click context menu, select the "Map Object..." option which will take you straight to the mapping dialogs.



    Is this kinda what you are looking for?
