Re: Regarding feature #5908

Hi Hackers,

I am currently working on #5908 Ability to Edit the View/Edit Data Query as if it were a query tool pane.

To achieve this there are 2 different approaches:

1. Allow users to promote existing View/Edit data window to Query Tool.

1. Give a button on the View/Edit data toolbar to convert the View/Edit data to the Query tool, after this users will able to edit the queries
2. 
3. In View/Edit data we can move the Query section with the Data output panel so the user can use the maximum space to see the actual result. (This is UI enhancement)
4. Click on "Promote to Query Tool" will confirm from the user whether the user wants to promote View/Edit Data to Query Tool or not, after confirmation from the user it will promote View/Edit data to query tool. 
5. Once promoted to Query Tool it will not be able to use the Filters and Limit options that are available in View/Edit Data.

2. Allow the users to open a new Query Tool from View/Edit Data with Query.

1. Give an option on the View/Edit data connection bar to open a new Query Tool with the current query (Query present in View/Edit data query window). Currently, we have an open new query tool button already present, we will just add a new option to that button that the user can select from the dropdown.
2. 
3. With this, the View/Edit Data will not allow the edit query and simply open a new Query Tool with a pre-written query.
4. We can add the UI enhancements with this option as well to move the Query section to Data Output. (3rd point from 1st approach)

Please let me know your suggestions/thoughts. and which approach we should go with.
