How to navigate to footprint library from PCB editor

Layout
1

In KiCAD PCB editor, if you right click a footprint and select “open in footprint editor”, it brings up the footprint as saved within your layout. Is there a faster way to open the actual library footprint than opening up footprint editor and navigating through the library tree to the footprint you want to edit? Like a context-sensitive “edit in library” command? Thanks!

Maybe use Edit Library Footprint, which is one button lower then Edit Footprint in the properties window of a footprint.
