Better visual identification of linked files and (it's) instances
I find the visual distinction between linked files, and their instances, or any instances, not enough. What I would like to see is more font options to differentiate between certain items.
e.g. all linked collections are shown in bold, while any instance is shown in italic.
That way, things are better separated in a glance, especially when dealing with dozens of linked files and their instances. It also is easier to quickly find the 'base' collections for editing etc.
This would be 'on top' of the existing way things are shown now.

Multiple proposals have been made during the years for this:
blender.community/c/rightclickselect/Btcbbc/
blender.community/c/rightclickselect/Z8Pv
blender.community/c/rightclickselect/6Rcbbc/
I know, and the last comment of mine on this was from 3 years ago. So time to give this one -again- some little exposure. ;) The proposal got 233 upvotes, so clearly there's some room to 'nag' the devs.
Multiplying proposals doesn't make them more visible, it just enlarges the sea of proposals in which they are more drowned. Upvoting and commenting makes proposals stand out. Fleshing them out with design mockups and what not makes them even more likely to be well received by devs.
