Live Script Editor, 'View Variable' option

Is there a way for the 'view variable' option in the output panel of Live Editor to open the Variable Editor with a focus on the selected variable ?

i.e. having this option:

to open a window like this:

instead of this window:

If not could this option be considered in a future release ?

And if not what could be the reason ?

1. View the variable in workspace and check the variable value at every step using step in.
2. Use the function openvar(‘variable name’) to open the variable in variable editor.

Right now, Matlab doesn’t support to open variable editor from view variable option, I have brought this issue to the concerned people and it might be considered in any future release.

Thank you for the answer, for now I will keep doing as before (opening variables by selecting them in the Workspace window) or I will use your second method, even if they are not as practical as I wished.

(So for the moment I don't really see the point of this 'view variable' option)

Anyways I'm glad to read this idea might be considered in a future release.

The existing variable viewer is Java based. Livescript is attempting to move to JavaScript without Java, so it has a new variable viewer
