I needed to edit this when I imported source. The imported source had the absolute path to the web module in context.xml. Using the open action or double clicking brings up an editor that only shows the context path. You need to close this editor in order to bring up the text editor where you have access to the whole file.

Reassigning to Martin.
Unfortunately it's not supported now, it is planned to next release.
It would be great to have 2 panes for the editors as it is for Forms (Source and Design view). We could have 1 action for editing instead of two (edit & open).

I agree with K.Zikmund that the best solution would be to create multiview editor.
