It's wrong to add a preference to tweak
the 'Link With Editor' behavior which currently does exactly what it is
supposed to do and which does the same in all views. Note that the feature
is off by default.

That would be a new action/command

Hello, 

I'm an SWT Eclipse Developer on Gtk side.

I work with  lots of repos, (platform.ui/releng/swt/jdt
etc..) and like the "Link with selection" feature.
However, it links to the file in the working tree in the
git  repository outline (See screenshot 1). 
Because of that I loose the overview of the git repositories.
However, I often need to click on the git repositories
for general interactions with different repositories. So I have to minimize
the thing, scroll up, find the selected repo etc... 

Is it possible to have it so that it doesn't expand into
the working tree when linked, just highlights the most relevant repository?
(See screenshot 2).
If not, is there an open feature request for this?


I think it would be ok to add an option to get this behaviour.
I couldn't find any feature request for this.
