Editing CSS tags

I am a newbie to DW. I currently use MS Expression web, one of the features I like is that CSS tags are linked to their style sheet. I can click the tag and it opens the style sheet location of the tag for editing. Does DW allow this feature, if so how?

My mistake. Thank you for the responses. I forgot to mention that I am using DW CS4.0. I dont see these solutions working in that version.

No unfortunately not in DW CS 4.0.

Sounds like you understand code? If so have you tried Brackets editor its free, has this feature, and really very, very good.

Right-Cilck on a tag, ID or class in HTML code (Win shortcut Ctrl+E).

Select Quick Edit.

Also see CSS Designer Panels.

You can do that in a way with 'Quick Edit'

Insert your cursor inside a class name or id name and Control+Click on Mac, not sure what keys on a PC, maybe Command+Click. That will open up a menu where you can choose Quick Edit which will show you the css style selector plus properties and also give you a link to the stylesheet where you can find it - click on the link and it should take you directly to the selector in the stylesheet.
