It is presently not possible. I can’t predict the future, so can’t answer the second part of your question.

Because 1.x contained a source list and 2.0 contains a file browser.

You need to double-click because single click selects the item. There are many situations where selecting a file is not done to open it.

Single-clicking the icon is a shortcut.

It has not been added (as 2.0’s file browser is not based on 1.x code). You can use ⌥⌘N for new tab (followed by ⌘S to save it defaulting to the file browser’s path, or selected folder in file browser)

I am unsure what this refers to.

So adding a dozen features to the simple source list has made it worse? OK…
