omfg this is so cool. the github for a pcb i snagged comes with an interactive html BOM with a sourced/placed checklist and automatic highlighting on the schematic when you click on any given component in the list
@patchwork this is the kind of BOM that i wish KiCad had as a feature
do you have a link to the github in question? It might be worthwhile to mention this to the KiCad devs, see if they might be able to make the built in BOM stuff a bit easier to handle

@Felthry kicad does have this feature! it just requires a plugin: https://github.com/openscopeproject/interactivehtmlbom
@patchwork I was thinking something like the new search panel, personally! something in the program itself, not exported from it, that lets you navigate the schematic hierarchy while able to see all the parts (or all the parts in certain subsets, like just the ICs or just the resistors or something) and their properties
i guess i'm thinking of basically some enhancements to the property editor

@Felthry ooh that would be a really nice feature. sounds kind of like how a lot some text-editors/IDEs can visualize the object hierarchies or methods or variables in a sidebar while you code >:3
