Data Viewer: open the same variable from variable doesn't reuse Data Viewer

[rebornix]

Testing #10915

• Click on the action "Show Variable in Data Viewer" from the variable view
• Data Viewer opened
• Click again
• It opens a new data viewer, instead of focusing on the Data Viewer again

I believe this is on purpose too. Has to do with auto refresh. You want the state of the dataframe before and after.

Should we close this issue?

Now I see the intention, we allow users to open the value of the variable in a data viewer editor, and the value can change so each time we open a new data viewer to show the latest value on button click.

If this is what we offer, the command name is ambiguous Show Variable in Data Viewer is telling me that I will have the variable opened in a data viewer, and it's linked with the kernel state and Variable Viewer. Show variable current value in Data Viewer might reflect what it really does.
