collection category/category on middle screen (is it possible)?

flying_ja
apologies for being inexact with my terminology, but... is there anyway to insert a column (on the middle screen of zotero) that displays what sub/collection a given entry belongs to?

i.e. if i'm curious about whether i have already logged a book on the situationist city and thus search for it using the search bar... and as a result find that two entries pop up... and i'm curious about which different collections i've logged these two entries under, how could i tell (other than trial and error by clicking on each of my many collections on the left-hand screen)? would it be possible to include a column in the middle screen (i.e. in addition to 'title,' 'creator,' 'type,' 'added,' etc..) that shows which collections a particular title belongs to?

    See:

    http://www.zotero.org/support/tips_and_tricks

    "To see all the collections an item is in, hold down the “Option” key on Macs or the “Control” key on Windows. This will highlight all collections that contain the selected record."

    I think this is fine for looking at a small number of items at a time, but is quite cumbersome for the collection (and sub-collection) as a whole. It would be nice to have something in the middle column or for you to not have to press the control button each time. Please consider something. This is actually my largest need and what I was hoping for from Zotero...some workaround. Thanks!
