Currently (LV 2013 SP1), this contextual menu option is only available for constants on the BD.
I see the difference between a constant and a terminal: the former doesn't have a counterpart on the FP, hence that is the only place you can perform this action.
But consider this: the Indicator is an output variable of the VI and is hidden somewhere in an invisible region of the FP which I don't want to have to scroll to, perform the "Disconnect from Type Def" and then go back and try to recover the initial layout of the FP.
Or this: you can use the "Make Type Def." contextual menu on a Control/Indicator terminal on the diagram.
Once this consistency issue is resolved, I'd suggest to expand this to local variables of said Control/Indicator, although unfortunately, there is no indication on a local variable that it is a Type Def, as there should.
