how do I change the default open behavior to not be a class property

How do I change the default behavior in the MATLAB editor so that selecting text and opening it (selecting "open") doesn't go the property first (as opposed to a class with the same path)? (note, this may also apply to functions in the same package, I haven't tested it

Consider the following layout:

+p/@class1

+p/+class1/@class2

If class1 has a property "class2" then if I select code that is "p.class1.class2" and open it the editor goes to the property "class2" instead of the class "class2"

Hi @Jim Hokanson,

The issue is that when an object’s property and a class (or function) share the same name in your package structure, the Editor’s “open” command goes to the property definition by default. This behavior is built into MATLAB’s name resolution. I dont think there is a documented way to change it.

That's what I figure but I was hoping that someone knew a workaround.
