This may not be as helpful now with the new "Next Experience" UI, but thought I'd share it anyways for those still using UI16 and the "UI16 Developer Patch" from James Neale.
Often, when switching between Update Sets, I'll want to open up that newly selected Update Set record.

OK, I can click on the "X" to close the message and then select the menu, but I'll admit, I'm lazy and always trying to minimize steps. So I've modified the "snd_ui16_developer_patch_menus" UI Script to add 4 fake menu items at the top, pushing down the other menu items:

{
name: '-'
},
The Script field should look like this:
