Subject: [PATCH] Open workflows sidebar when selecting a different workflow in
 picker

Instead of trying to programmatically switch the active workflow,
open the ComfyUI workflows sidebar panel so the user can switch
from there. The snapshot picker still shows the selected workflow's
snapshots in view-only mode.
