Rename Browser Nodes - add more options such as Title, Description, etc.

The current browser rename tool only allows Filename, Part Number, or Default. Please expand this to include more iProperties like Description, Title, Part Number + Description, or custom properties. This would save time, improve clarity, and remove the need for iLogic workarounds.

Mighty browser allows this.  Bit painful as not native though.

Wouldn`t it be greater if there is a possibility to show any iproperty, without renaming? Like the Vault tree? Because renaming causes problems with copied models, due to that the renamed displaynames doesn't update.

@Hans-Christian_Sunderbrink makes an excellent point that also bothers me; renaming a browser node by adding a description to the existing P/N, the whole thing is now dissociated from the actual P/N (i.e., the renamed node is just text). Initially this is OK (sort of) but when the model is copied (I do this a lot) the rename stays the same even if the underlying part was copied to a new number.  Naming nodes is a huge help when deciphering a model.  Being able to have the node name associated with the P/N and Description is OK but sometimes descriptions can be long (and I don't want to dedicate space to the browser to read it).  Allowing the user to append general (but useful) text to the P/N (which stays associative with the underlying part) would be ideal for me.
