Research direction

Start by inspecting the current Window | Reopen as Attributes workflow and how views of groups or datasets are selected. Map the existing object views and top-level windows before changing the menus; done means icons switch between views of the same object, View contains the view controls, and Window selects top-level windows.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

enhancement

Viewing attributes of groups or datasets is fairly awkward (Window|Reopen as Attributes).

Suggestion: Add icons that let you switch between different views of the same object (e.g. Dataset |Attributes | Image).
Move the current "Window" menu to a "View" menu.
Use "Window" menu to select between different top level windows.
