Once you're inside the Reference dialog, if you double-click the citation template, then it takes you to the Citation tool (rather than to the generic template tool). I don't know if that's intentional, but it's not obviously wrong.

In talking with Trevor this is going to take quite some time to fix, sadly.

It's intentional. :-)

As the citation experience overall has recently improved in leaps and bounds this is one of those issues that sticks out -- any chance we can chop it down soon?

It's a non-trivial problem. We have some ideas for how to do this, but I need Trevor's brain, and he's been sick all week :(

@Jdforrester-WMF If that sounds reasonable to you, I'd like to see this resolved as part of the citations experience work that we're doing in Q3 - it's a UI niggle that can distract from an otherwise dramatically improved experience. Obviously not an issue if made obsolete by a new UI.
