Catalog Pane — Add item to map as query layer

It would be great if we could add a Catalog item to the map as a query layer using an OOTB button.

That would be an efficient way to create a query layer; no need to fiddle with query layer setup. And it could be a good way to add an item to the map without locking it.

Pro already has all the information it needs to create a query layer; I know this because it automatically creates query layers for Catalog items that aren't registered with the geodatabase when an unregistered item is added to the map.

I did as you suggested and used the append tool, which it completed. The schema wasnt the same but changing the field matching type to reconcile field differences got it to be completed. However, I dont see the point on the map. Did I perhaps do something wrong?
