Description

When any of the edit checks that trigger a context item[i] are clicked on from the sidebar, the content is selected and the context item is shown. The latter part could be distracting to the user. See example:

This task is for the work of suppressing the context item (add link dialog, etc.) when the suggestion is clicked in the sidebar.
