Zotero 7 Feature Request: use search collection result output format for 'highlight collections'
Pressing the Option or Control key for an item in the main library displays the collections it is part of. The output of this tends to unfold many irrelevant collections (or even all collections ?) and is thus a little challenging to browse if one has many collections. Could the same output display approach be used as in 'search collections' - showing only the relevant collections with their hierarchy ?

The “highlight collections containing the selected item” function remains incredibly useful in my workflow. However, the current behavior, expanding the entire collections tree, makes it difficult to navigate in large libraries.
It would be a significant usability improvement if Zotero unfolded only the collections that actually contain the item, similar to how “Search collections” presents its results. That focused view would make it much easier to understand an item’s placement within a complex hierarchy.
Thanks for considering it again.
