  Is that different to how it was before?
  
  > The item itself has an arrow cursor while the sub-items have the 'URL' hand, while the hover-highlight highlights the whole item in both cases.
  
  Oh, right, that's not good. I'd make it all use the hand cursor, then.
  
  > It is not obvious what will be opened when something has been clicked. Maybe a better approach would be to always open the item's KCM, but to preselect the sub-item that has been clicked on in it (instead of only showing the sub-item configuration without the ability to switch to another subitem without going back).
  
  Oh, I thought that was already the case, at least that's how I'd imagined it. Looks like our design specification was not detailed enough here.
  
  So yes, please, make it behave like Ivan said!

  Yes, absolutely!
