Feature request

Summary

It happens that a resource is nested in several parents and it can be difficult to quickly find it in a tree.
A resource can be opened by id (if you know it or through a search), but finding all its parents, or neighboring resources and understanding the nesting structure is already difficult.

Suggested solution(s)

It would be convenient if in the resource editing form add the "Find in the tree" button, by clicking on which all the parents of resource would expand in tree, and the resource itself would be highlighted (as in the animation of dragging the resource to the other parent).

It would also be useful for elements (TVs, chunks, files) in nested categories.

Yes, I know about this ModDevTools.
MODX 3 already has breadcrumbs, and (next/prev/up) buttons may appear (#15464), but quickly displaying/finding a resource/element in the tree seems useful to me.
You have to work a lot with a tree, and often time is wasted on frequent expanding.
