Feature request: Tom explorer favourites / pinned items #551
Description
I thought it might be handy to have the functionality to favourite / pin objects in the TOM explorer for quick navigation, i.e. jumping the active selection to the selected favourited / pinned object in the TOM explorer window.
Use case would be when working with a group of tables from within a large model. This would help with avoid scrolling through the object list when jumping between table columns; for example, when checking column properties.
I though the favourited / pinned items could list in a new panel/section just above the TOM explorer.

That’s an excellent suggestion. There’s some design work involved they we’ll have to figure out, but I really like it.
Until we have this feature available, a possible (albeit cumbersome) alternative is to create a diagram, add your favorite tables and then arrange them in a compact way. When you click on a table in the diagram view, the TOM Explorer will also navigate to that table.
