I've just discovered how, when you right-click on an item, you have the options to "Show in Home Grid" and "Show in Scratch Grid".
 
Would it make sense to have another right-click option, to show the item in any other grid (whether currently open or closed) in which that item is or would be displayed?
 
Perhaps a "Show in Other Grid" option - when this option would be selected, IQ would test all the defined grids to see if the right-clicked item is or would be displayed in it.  Then IQ could present a menu of these grids.  The user would select one of these available grids.  IQ would then display the selected grid, with the appropriate item highlighted. 
 
Would it also be good to include "Show in Home/Scratch/Other Grid" as a right-click option for items listed in the Properties Pane?  (in the lists of parent, siblings, and children items). ?
 
I am just thinking about ways to make it easier to show items in any desired context.

Hi Jim,
 
Thanks for the suggestions.
Along these lines, I was thinking on implementing a Hoist Marked items feature to grids. Then all you'd need to do is to mark items and the grid would auto-update and show those items.
 
HTH !

I suggested that a long time ago (hoist in other grid), so I'm of course in favor of that feature...
