I don't think that's a proper assumption that everybody is only going to use imported objects as instances and not as something like a main object body to just do further work on.

Yes, I do want to have instances at some point.

Pulling up a completely separate window is a pretty complex process for something like that. I'd be more inclined to do something much more simple for things like that, such as temporarily hide the other stuff, let you work on the object that you want to edit right in the same window you are already working in, and then when you are done everything else goes back to its previous state.
