What's the most effective way to open a Change Action in the desktop client?

Hi Enovia people,

I have a Change Action (CA). It's open in the browser in the Change Execution webapp. I want to open this in the desktop app so I can 1) apply a Work Under authoring context, and 2) also manipulate items directly in the desktop client. 

I've tried Dragging and Dropping the CA from the web to the client, but I get the following Incident Report message:

Problem: You cannot open the selected object in an authoring app. Advice: Use the Compass to launch the appropriate app.

 

And when I select the "Change Execution for Desktop" app, either from the CA, or selecting the CA from the home page of Change Execution, then I get a dialog to create a new CA.

 

Clearly, I can "just" search for my CAs, but the type-search-find-select-open routine is a little tiring. And I feel like there has to be a better way to transfer the CA to the desktop from the web, when its already open. I've also used Change Management Impacts when there's already an impacted item open in a structure, but in this case, there might not be an association at this stage. 

 

Thoughts?
