Description
I suggest to add, if it's easy, a new syntax to search every object related to a current selection.
Example, we select one way with keyABC=value1. We now want to select every object with keyABC=value1. One possible syntax could be:
keyABC=selected.keyABC
it would be the same that if you search keyABC=value1 but you won't need to copy/paste the value in the search, only select one way and search.
I don't know if supporting multi-values (when you select many object with different values) could be good or to complicated.
So here are the 3 cases:
- one object selected: search with the value of the key
- many object selected with same key=>value, search with the common value
- many object with different value, no search (or create a more complicated expression with (key=value1 OR key=value2 OR key=value3).
Of course expression could be whatever is easier to parse:
- selected.key1 (java like)
- selectedkey1 (javascript like)
- [selected key1]
- selected#key1
- selected->key1 (C Struct/PHP like)
- selected::keys
- etc...
