How can I access to a data table inside a spatial file?

In Spatial Manager™ for AutoCAD you can access to a data table from a spatial file using the right-click menu over the file item itself, over a table from the file or over any UDS that refers the file, in the "SpatialManager" panel, to import its content into a new or the current AutoCAD drawing.
