Top Level Object Properties Display in n-Panel Item>Properties

When an Object is selected, it might be helpful if the Properties pane of the n-Panel Item tab showed some of the Object properties.

Often, I select something in the 3D Viewer in the hope to have the UI report to me where the item is located in my Collections, or if it is an Instance, or if it is a Child and what Object is its Parent if it is. I know all of these are discoverable in the Properties panel, but then again, so is all the Transform data, which is shown in the n-Panel.

It is nice that the Collections panel highlights the object icon to show where it is, but when working in full screen mode, this isn't available.

In my pretty basic workflows, the Properties pane in the n-Panel Item tab never shows anything no matter what I have selected ever, so I guess I'm just suggesting that it could be used for something. Either that or my app is buggy and I am unintentionally submitting a help desk request, for which I apologize if that is the case.

If it shows nothing at all, file a bug report.

It showes nothing because it includes CyclesObject api property that is hidden if Developer Extras is disabled
