Duplicate a Record from the "collections" view

I want to be able to duplicate a record from the “collections” view instead of having to go inside the record, open the side bar, click duplicate, then exit out of the view back into the “collections” view and then work from the duplicated copy.

Alternatively, it would also be great if clicking on “duplicate” within the “record” view directs you to the new duplicate record created.

I would appreciate a one-click record duplication methon.
As I understand, currently, it takes three clicks to duplicate a record:

  • click on a record you want to duplicate → get directed to the editor
  • click on the ellipsis next to the model name → a dropdown is opened
  • click duplicate.
    And you’ll have to click the “Go to duplicated record” to get directed to the new post!
    I think I’m not the only one to duplicate records a lot, as most records in the same model usually have a certain format, so I just need to duplicate and swap in relevant info.

The problem is also, that if you are not careful, you will end up editing the wrong post, when you hit the duplicate button, and if you miss the notification, you are actually on a page that looks as a duplicate of the original, but it is not it is the original. Maybe if it just went somewhere else, that would be an improvement.
