Comment 1 Ondrej Vrabec 2013-06-06 11:45:03 UTC 
Are you talking about Search History (Subversion -> Search History) or the History view (the history tab in file's editor)?

If about Search History...
"Open" should be already available: right-click and select View -> opens the file in editor

"Diff with HEAD" - are you sure you do not want rather:
- select a file in revision X
- shift-select a file in revision Y
- right-click and select Diff ? That would probably switch to the diff view and show you the diff of the file in the selected revisions. It's the same as if you switch to the Diff view and select the file from both revisions.
Comment 2 tomzi 2013-06-06 13:22:18 UTC 
Yeah - I know - but I'd also like to open the current revision from this view
Comment 3 tomzi 2013-06-06 13:30:26 UTC 
reg. "Open" should be already available
'View' only opens the source code of this revision 
'Open' should open the source code found in the current project

reg. "Diff with HEAD"
In the 'Search History'(Summary) view it is really hard to do what you suggest, since you have to find exactly the same file in a different revision first - I'd rather have a 'Diff with all previous revisons' where I get a view with only this file and all revisions from until now.

But the most important feature her is - What did change from this revision on until now - since I want to do a code review - which is not easily possible right now from the 'Search History' (Summary) view
