UV Editor: automatic opening of currently edited images

When you hit tab, to edit a object/mesh, the UV grid displays just fine, but i think it is cumbersome to open the associated image texture manually in UV Editor.

Its clear to me that many different materials/images can be assigned to one object, but at least in my case displayed "default" image content is most of the the time totally unrelated to what i am working on, unless i choose it in the image file selector.

Solution from user IIIFGIII: :

Amaranth toolset addon, - which seems to ship with blender 2.8, and must be activaded, offers the "double click image input-node" option, the linked image loads properly in the existing uv editor window! thanks!
