Summary0004928: No Method To Edit Storyboards From Resources
Description

Currently, many Resources feature an action with the Resources Panel that allow creators to immediately edit the selected Resource.
(eg: clicking on a Color Resource exposes it for edit in the Properties Panel, clicking on the 'pencil' icon of a DataTemplate opens the DataTemplate in the Template Editor, etc...)

However, Storyboard Resources don't offer an equivalent piece of functionality, and don't offer the ability to access or edit them from the Resources Panel.

Since Storyboards are restricted to the scope they were created in, allowing a user to open a Storyboard for edit from an agnostic location like the Resources Panel, is possible.

How this could work:

-> Storyboard Resources in the Resources Panel, when hovered, present a Pencil Icon adjacent to the Delete Icon; same presentation as hovering over a DataTemplate Resource)
-> When the Storyboard Resource's Pencil Icon is clicked, Studio
----> jumps the user to the Document where the Storyboard lives
----> opens the Animation Panel, and opens the "Storyboards" Tab for the Document
----> Selects from the Storyboard Tab, the Storyboard that was selected for Edit from the Resources Panel.
This then reveals the Document, and its Storyboard in the application window, with its Timeline visible.

We have determined that the rules for being able to open a Storyboard Resource will be as follows:

If a Storyboard is stored in the currently-active Page, or within the currently-active Template, the user is able to edit them via a pencil/'edit' icon.
[We will not support this yet, but if we do end up supporting creating a Storyboard in a Dictionary, without being part of a Page or Template, the pencil/'edit' icon does not appear.]


Repro Steps:

1) Open the Z3L Sample
2) With MainPage.xaml open, navigate to the Resources Panel, and select MainPage.xaml/[Page]
3) From the list of Resources contained within, identify the 'ScreenEnter' Storyboard
4) Attempt to open it for Edit.

Observe how the Storyboard can't be edited from the Resources Panel.
Expected Results: Storyboards can be opened for edit directly from the Resources Panel if within the scope where they are employed.
