Locate current model in data panel

Locate current model in data panel

I've faced situation when I was transferring data to another project - at some point I found that I don't know what project my current model belongs to. 

 

One can find that by clicking File -> Open details in Web but it's a bit workaround way.

 

My idea is to add function "Locate current model in data panel" to model pop-up menu to quickly go to that exact model in data panel.

I agree - would be great to be able to locate (open the folder of and highlight) a design, from anywhere it's referenced.

 

1. From the design browser (whether the top-level component or a referenced component)

2. From the open design's tab (right-clicking the tab does nothing right now, maybe it could?)

3. From the search results! (one can click the version icon and see the location, but there's no way to click on it)

4. ...are links to designs seen anywhere else? There too.

This would be especially nice as the search function in the data panel is so broken.  For some inexplicable reason it does not show you the file path of the results of a query, only the project root.  So to actually find the location of a result in the search you have to open the file and then execute a "Save Copy As" - only then can you see the file location.
