Edit an asset from the asset browser

Could be nice to open an asset for edit from the Asset Browser, instead searching for the blend

This is already possible. In the asset browser select your asset then open the right hand N menu. By the "Source" file there is a little spanner and screwdriver icon. Click this and a new instance of Blender will launch and load the file that the asset is saved in. Do your modifications in this file. If you want the preview to be updated open the asset browser in the asset fil and in the right hand menu click on the Generate Preview button or add your own render. Save and exit and the asset browser should update in your original file (although this seems to be a bit buggy at the moment). The docs for the asset browser seem to still be being written and don't really make sense at the moment.
