Dashed connections of disconnected Bones hierarchies in the Outliner.

Blender has connected and disconnected bones, the first one is easy to read while the second one when parented is a bit hard since there is no visual indicator besides being on the same level (branching hierarchies ) , You have to select the parent to know which hierarchies they belong to.

Adding a dashed line to the connections between disconnected bones/branching hierarchies and their parent will make them much more easier to read at first glance just like in the Viewport.

Yes please. It's a slowdown not knowing how to the hierarchy works visually without counting parents.

Numpad+/- works to collapse/expand everything up to some consitent hierarchical depth for now, but those lines in these cases (not everywhere) would be very handy!
