Research direction

Start by reviewing the example cards, their Apply buttons, the editor template, the main page, and the JSON/YAML tabs. Compare the five proposed quick-access approaches, resolve which behavior should be implemented, and verify that a Thing Description example can be applied without expanding its description.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

It would be good to have a quicker way to get the examples. There are multiple solutions that come to mind:

  1. Changing the current template with a useful TD example that appears in every editor
  2. Changing the "Apply" button in the example cards to always appear next to the name of the example. That way, you can use it without expanding the description
  3. Another button on the main page that puts one TD example
  4. In the tabs part, next to JSON and YAML, have one or two examples for "quick access"
  5. The + button shows a small menu instead of putting a template right away.

My opinion is to do option 2 anyway and further improve with one of the other options.
