@jeremydw this is ready for review when you have a sec. i debated back and forth about whether the default click on the reference card should open the modal or whether it should open a new tab, decided that the "quick edit icon" might be a clearer ux indicator but i'm happy to go either way on this one.

screenshots:

1. I think most other CMSes let you click it without a separate icon but I like the deliberateness of the icon so that SGTM. Wondering if we should stack the pencil and trash icons vertically though and center them to better occupy the space.

2. What do you think about putting the doc status badges, localization, history + publish button inside the modal? I envision scenarios where you want to do a quick edit and publish at the same time. At a minimum I think we should have a button or link to open up the full editor for the reference in a new tab.

1. re: vertical icons, i think the ux works a little better with the horizontal layout - with the vertical layout, the tooltips create weird states where if you hover over one with a tooltip, the tooltip blocks you from hovering over the other until you hover away. i think i can move the status badges to below the title though to help with the space issue (i swore i had already done this in another PR)

2. i personally don't want users to be able to do all of those things here since in the future we'll have things like publishing checks and other things which we don't want to handle from inside another doc. status badge is also already visible from the reference field preview card. i don't want the modal to be something that's left open indefinitely because it doesn't have the same collaborative editing style automatic updates as the main doceditor does. i can add an icon or button to open in a new tab though.

SG; let's add the "Open in new tab" or similar to that modal for now

i played around with the ux a bit, here's what i liked best:

other options were adding a link to the doc id in the modal title, and having a more subtle action icon button with just a top-right arrow. both of those didn't seem as discoverable so i'm just liking having a small text button best.

One other option - bottom left of modal?

bottom left kinda felt out of place to me, but i can try it and screenshot if you want to see it.

i guess i don't mind the bottom left as much as i thought i would. preference?

made an exec decision and moved it to the bottom left. will submit now.
