Description

### Prerequisites

- [x] I am running the latest version of ComfyUI
- [x] I have searched existing issues to make sure this isn't a duplicate
- [x] I have tested with all custom nodes disabled ([see how](https://docs.comfy.org/troubleshooting/custom-node-issues#step-1%3A-test-with-all-custom-nodes-disabled))

### What happened?

A few versions ago was added a little button called "Execute to selected output nodes". From the description, I (and I guess everyone else too) understood it as something meant to run the workflow only for that specific node. But when you actually use it, the whole workflow gets executed anyway.

### Steps to Reproduce

Create any workflow with a flow that branches into parallel flows and try to execute only one of the branches using that button.

### How is this affecting you?

Feature doesn't work as expected

### ComfyUI Frontend Version
