Problem
When the tree grows large, working with a few specific items becomes painful — you constantly scroll up and down, expand/collapse branches, and lose context.
Proposal
Let users mark any tree item with a star or pin icon. Pinned items could include their sub-items.
A separate tab — e.g. “Favorites” or “Pinned” — would display only these items, preserving their hierarchy. The user can then work exclusively with this filtered subset.
Benefits
- No more scrolling through the full tree for frequently accessed items
- Easier focus on the items currently being worked on
- Personal per-user view without affecting the actual tree structure
Open questions / nice-to-haves
- Should pins be per-user or shareable?
- Persistence across sessions (probably yes)
- Possibly multiple named “pin groups” instead of a single favorites list?
