Option for a toggle switch for asset libraries
My issue - Every time I use or open the asset browser my blender lags and takes a long pause before loading all the assets and sometimes it crashes too i believe cause of my laptop is weak. So I had to remove all my asset path from asset libraries which made my asset browser open faster but now whenever I need some specific assets like tree or furniture i have to go to the asset libraries press the plus icon and paste the file path.
My solution -
rather then me having to tediously press minus and plus and browse in asset libraries i wish we had a toggle switch or a checkbox on the file path of asset libraries. So everytime i open my blender file i just need to go to my preference setting>file path and click on the asset i want my blender to load. Which wont just make the asset load faster but it would be more organized as we would be using the only asset that we want in the scene
here is a picture of my idea

Done! :D projects.blender.org/blender/blender/commit/ab2aa2512f
thank you :)
Would suggest to have this option available in the asset browser instead with the possibility to create collections of different asset libraries that can be triggered on/off.
That way, the user can customise what is displayed in the asset browser depending on what is being worked on. e.g. if you are modelling you want a certain collection of libraries active while working with Grease Pencil you would want others.
I like your idea and i understand what u mean but what i am asking for is a little different my biggest issue with asset browser is that u can create files with different asset and asset browser let u use these asset anywhere and on any file in blender but every time i open asset blender lags cause it has to load all my different asset and their thumbnails on it.
for example if i had 5000 assets with all files combined and all i want is my car pack file which may have 40 assets but blender will start loading all the 5000 asset causing it to lag for a few minute and it crashes if i am working on a heavy scene when i open up my asset browser.
i also thought if adding a checkbox is kind of hard they could give a option like none or disable in import method cause they already give the option of append and link just add one more option like disable so blender asset browser wont load that but the path would still exist in preference if anytime i wanna append it.
This is more than necessary ! I think the best would be to have a toggle per library in the asset browser's drop-down, and another in preferences for each library to decide whereas it should be enabled at startup or not.
