UI3: Remove 'Create component' button from components

This is one of the most baffling decisions in UI3.

When you have an existing component, you’ve kept the exact same icon as UI2, but changed the button’s functionality. I’m constantly accidentally creating a new component, when I’m trying to go to that component.

Please, when you have a component selected, hide this action in the ··· menu. There’s no reason for it to be one of the primary actions. 99.9% of the time when I have a component selected and I go to press this button, I’m actually trying to go to that component. Now that functionality has moved to the folder name, which is very confusing. But at least removing this button from the primary action menu next to the component name would help.

Hey @Morgan_Carter! Thank you so much for your detailed feedback—it really highlights a pain point! I understand how the change in button functionality could be confusing, especially when the icon remains the same but the action has shifted. I’ll definitely pass this on to the team for consideration, as adjustments like hiding this action in the menu could improve the experience. Feel free to upvote this suggestion as well, it helps ensure valuable insights like yours get attention on Figma’s roadmap.

Thanks again for sharing!
