Description

When building complex assemblies it is great to be able to view/hide each individual component of the assembly using GUI. I may be missing how to do it (if I am please let me know!), but if not already a feature it would be great to be able to break assemblies into a "tree view" on the `Objects` sidebar under `CQ models` allowing you to view/hide each individual part of the overall assembly and browse them; ideally by the name set when .add()-ing to the assembly.

Here's a complex assembly (rendered using `show_object`) with a number of parts which it would be nice to have split out under the section indicated by the black arrow:
