If I understand correctly, you donʼt want to type v in the Summary
buffer to display a message, but would like to be able to switch
directly to the message buffer? I donʼt know a way to do this. In the
past I have used emacs workgroups to keep a window configuration for
WL around with a displayed message.

To update the folder list, use C-u <RETURN>
(wl-folder-jump-to-current-entity) with your cursor over the +/ access
group in the Folders buffer.
