"Solo View Mode" Button in Outliner

Maybe it might be usefull to have a "solo view" button like on a mixing console for every object, yes there is a shortcut but there is also a Button vor show and hide (mute), so it might be more intuitive to have a button vor that.

Having a button in the outliner would make it much easier to add/remove other objects from the active local view. For example you can currently add/remove multiple objects from edit mode by ctrl+clicking an icon in the outliner. There is no additional clutter in the outliner if the user chooses to omit that column in the settings.

Local View (which you're calling solo view) can be found in View > Local View already. I don't think we need an interface button for this and it would simply clutter the Outliner. Local view isn't a "checkmark" property like show/hide, it relates directly to what you're doing in the 3D view (NOT scene organization) and IMO doesn't need a dedicated button on the Outliner as a result.

Actually, having an extra button or shortcut for this would be useful. In the current state, the solo mode from outliner (ctrl+click on eye ball) can be more of a pain than anything else. When you solo a collection for example, it "eyeballs off" other collections / objects, fine, but when you want to exit solo, it "eyeballs on" everything, even the coll/objects that were already hidden before.

Using Isolation mode requires to have objects selected. When seeking for a specific thing, right clicking a collection, then clicking "select hierarchy" then pressing num/, not finding what you want, exiting isolation and repeating these steps again and again is a pain.
