Focus on Collection in outliner if object is selected in viewport to easy find location of object name

Right now if object is in Collection and this is closed dir, and we clicking object on viewport, then it's hard to find location in Collection this dir. The option to do this is filter "Active", but this is not comfy in all situation.

My suggestion is to find location object in Collection by focus in outliner the Collection dir like normaly object. Then we can open the collection dir to find, and if exist depth, then after open 1st, then focus going to 2nd dir to focus like 1st was.

Isn't the numpad "." shortcut already doing that ?

All I want to be able to do is press a shortcut when my mouse is hovered over the outliner to locate that object in the outliner.

No.

What if I have 8 outliners open and each is configured differently and each is focused on a different part of the list for multiple important reasons.

Shame on whoever upvoted this.
