Description
otioview allows the user to double-click on a nested composition (e.g. a Track or Stack within a Track) to drill into it in a separate tab. It would be great if Raven had the same feature and/or a way to expand a nested composition in-place within the main window.
For the first approach, it might be best to implement #64 first and then come back to this.
For the second in-line approach, we can look at how NLEs like Avid Media Composer allow the user to expand/collapse nested compositions within the timeline window.

Research direction
Start by reviewing issue #64, which the first proposed approach may depend on, then examine Raven's main window and timeline workflow. Clarify whether the finished feature should open nested compositions in a separate tab, expand them inline, or support both, and define the expected double-click and collapse behavior.
