It would be nice to be able to paste a tagpath into a function attached to the tag browser and have it expand the structure to that tag path.

In the same vein, it would be good for the Tag Editor (and the Tag Report Tool) to have a function to be able to "locate" the tag you're editing in the tag browser. The use-case here would be when opening the tag editor from the Tag Report Tool results for instance, where opening it from here doesn't also locate the tag in the tag browser.

Idea for voting:
