When reviewing articles, I'll often see a reference I want to fix.

. Getting to where I can actually start editing the reference is quite difficult.

If I click on the reference itself, I'm just editing the {{reflist}} template, which is not what I want to do. If I get out of visual editor and click on the back-reference link (a, b, in this example), I get to where the ref is used in the article body, but it's a sea of text and not easy to find the specific reference I want

. I can search for it by number, i.e. looking for the text "[6]", but by the time I'm looking at the body text, I can no longer see the reference number down in the reflist, so I need to scroll back down there and note the number.

Worse, once I've found the actual reference, and click on an "edit" link, not only has the text scrolled to a different location in the window, but depending on how the references are used, the number may well change (in this case, from 6 to 5)

, . The end result is more searching, more scrolling back and forth to verify I'm looking at what I wanted to look at, etc. The U/X is extremely awkward and frustrating.

There should be a way to just double-click on a reference in the reflist, while you're looking at it, and edit it directly without having to find it back in the article body.
