Unify behaviour when clicking on entity/asset references

When clicking on an Asset Reference in the inspector will select the asset and the details will be shown in the inspector.

With an Entity reference, the Editor changes to a 'picker mode' which has confused some users and they end up accidentally changing the entity reference because they wanted to 'inspect' another entity.

See video below:

Changing the Entity reference to be the same as the Asset Reference where clicking the reference would select the asset/entity being referenced and add a pencil icon to change the reference would be the way to go I think
