Depends on what you want to do. Double clicking a smart object opens it,
so you can adjust the individual items inside the object. That was not
the question. The question was: suppose you want to use Levels on the
smart object. You can't do that, because Levels is greyed out if you
have selected the object. The answer is to use an adjustment layer, and
combine it as a clpping mask if the adjustment should only be on the
object.
