Show notes but not other child items

zotero607
Hi, zotero makes for some nice improvements to my research workflow. However, I like to put notes with some articles (eg. "doesn't look great but might have some useful references"). zotero has an option to add a note to an article, but I only see the notes when I 'expand all' (+ on the keyboard). In this case, I also see the pdf's for each article listed separately, which creates a lot of clutter. I'd like to see an overview of just the parent article items, [i]and[/i] any notes that are attached. I don't think this is possible in zotero, and I also couldn't find a plugin for it. Am I right that I should create a plugin for this myself, or is there some other way to achieve this with options currently available?
Kind regards,

    Not possible, and unlikely to be something we would do, but in a future version it will be possible to hide context rows that don't match a search (i.e., those currently shown in gray), which would let you construct a saved search that excluded attachments and then hide non-matching rows.

    I assume you know you can see notes from the notes section of the item pane, and you can pin that section (double-click on the icon or right-click → Pin Section) to keep that at the top as you move between items. In Zotero 8 (currently in beta), you'll also be able to reorder sections, so you could move the notes section to the top.
