Description
What is the feature you'd like to have?
Usually it's pretty helpful to click (select) on token e.g. argument of function call and change the current view from HLIL to assembly to see low-level part of it, currently afaik BN just match only IL line (or whole IL instruction) to one address in assembly, so no matter what was selected the address in assembly view only one for whole instruction, thus we need to additionally look for needed instructions
Additional Information:
I think it can be easily done with plugin, but there is still no clean ways to match selected token to corresponding IL sub-expression (and according to #2722, some of the tokens just can't be matched anyhow)

Research direction
Review the HLIL-to-assembly view behavior described here and the token-matching limitations discussed in #2722. Confirm which selected-token mappings are supported and define observable behavior for switching views before implementation.
