[Qgis-developer] Changing behaviour of "show selected features" mode for attribute table

+1 on adding this to 2.18.

Would it be possible to include a dropdown arrow on the "Open Attribute
Table" icon, similar to the behavior of the Feature Selection tool? This
way a user can trigger the default option (show all features) by clicking
on the icon, but can also choose "Show selected features" by clicking the
dropdown.
