I would love to be able to point a mouse at any given component in a model, and be able to quickly drill down on information nested in that component. Think the label tool in Layout. If a person clicks on something in layout with the label, they can get a quick drill down of nested components pertaining to the exact point of the cursor. This is to an extent available in the component attributes section, but the scope is so wide that drilling down would be over the top, and also doesn’t show things like description, unless you add it specifically in the dynamic component section and would require every component to have dynamic attributes coded in, and that feels logistically painful.
