Open Generic Instance

[wooska]

What I would like to be able to do is open the generic instance of a family table part from the assembly. For example, say I have a family table bolt in an assembly. I can right-click and select open, but that will only open that instance of the part. If I want to make a change to the generic, I have know what the generic is called and open it seperately. I would like to have option, any time I open an instance, of choosing which instance I open.

If you have an instance of either a part or assembly open this mapkey will open the generic.
