Functionality Suggestions for Opening a Table or Attribute Table from the Catalog View or Pane

In the Catalog View and Catalog Pane, in the context menu for any item that includes tabular data, add direct opening options, such as
- Open Table
- Add to Current Map and Open (for Pane)
- Add to <map name> and Open (for View)

The idea to open a table directly without adding to a map is here: https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-ideas/open-and-edit-attribute-table-from-arccatalog/idi-p/923078 (originally submitted for ArcCatalog, but still applicable to ArcGIS Pro Catalog Pane or View).

When you utilize this feature it appears to put a Schema Lock on the dataset, at least when working with an EGDB connection. I think I have ran into this issue when writing python scripts in the past, but didn't troubleshoot the issue at those times and just rebooted things.

I just rant into it when working with the Data Interoperability extension / FME workbench. I ran a workspace and it worked fine, but after I had opened the table from the Catalog pane in Pro, the workspace failed to run again due to a lock on the dataset. Nothing besides restarting Pro seemed to remove the lock; not closing the table, refreshing the database, or opening another table from the same database.

Bringing the dataset into a map and opening the Attribute Table from there did not have the same effect, and I was able to reproduce the issue and pinpoint it to opening a table from the Catalog pane
