Using the Files table is a pretty awkward interface for us to access submodules, because our default mode of operation is to only ever show modified / unknown / non-ignored files, so the working copy state is always either obviously "clean" or "dirty."
Given that "best practice," I have to (1) expand the repositories view to my sub-directory (i.e. "external", because I don't want submodules cluttering my root directory), (2) select my sub-directory, then (3) use three more clicks to perform an operation on that submodule.
