Select Materials to edit from Outliner/Blender File mode
Editing materials by first selecting them in Outliner in Blender File mode would be so practical. To not break Blender, select all scene objects it's on on the way. Also simply being able to preview their Shader Tree without putting them on some object first, changing something ad forgetting to change the original material back.

Oh I forget about being able to drag&drop them onto objects. If the object has multiple object slots, display a small quickmenu under the mouse onto which to drop it. This too please. And if we are at this please display them with the small fitting preview-icon instead of the generic "checker-ball".
a million times yes
