Description:
The BLOB viewer/editor addition to later versions of MySQL Workbench 5.2 is a great feature, but its access could be improved.  Currently, to access the BLOB viewer, the user is required to right-click on a BLOB cell in the "Result" tab, then select "Open Value in Viewer".  Access to the viewer could be streamlined by also allowing a double-click on a BLOB cell to automatically open the viewer/editor.

How to repeat:
1. Issue a query that returns a row containing one or more BLOB values.
2. Double-click on a BLOB cell and observe that nothing happens.  It would be nice if the BLOB viewer/editor opened on this action.
3. Right-click on the same BLOB cell and select "Open Value in Viewer".

Suggested fix:
Detect a double-click on a BLOB cell in the "Results" tab, and automatically open that cell's BLOB value in the BLOB viewer/editor.

It may also be nice to add quick access to the BLOB Save/Export functionality in the right-click menu below "Open Value in Viewer".  This feature is currently only accessible from the BLOB viewer/editor by clicking the "Save..." button.

Many thanks for writing a feature request.
