Description
**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
Whenever I'm working on a big database, I feel the need to jump between different tables and procedures and views. When that happens, nowadays I have three options: Scroll until I find one, then scroll for the other; Or use the filter; Or use the Bookmark in the Projects sidebar.
Although I think filter is useful, I still think it doesn't really achieve what I was looking for because I have to re-type the name of the object every time I want to search a different one (I actually prefer scrolling to this). And the Bookmark feature does 80-90% of what I'm looking for. But it does not allow me to expand that object to check its columns/triggers directly from the sidebar and does not group by Connection.
**Describe the solution you'd like**
To me, a good solution would be the ability to right-click an object in the Database Navigator and select "pin/bookmark object" (pin table/pin procedure/etc) and this object would be visible from the top of the Database Navigator (or even the projects sidebar) like this:
- Pinned objects
- database abc
- procedure_X
- table_name_A
- table_name_F
- database xyz
- table_name_d
- Connections (here go back to the regular object tree we have today...)
**Describe alternatives you've considered**
My first thought was to use Projects' Bookmarks to do so. But with it I can see and double click or navigate to the object, but I cannot expand it to see its columns and triggers, which is so useful when checking an object from the Database Navigator sidebar. Plus: The bookmark action could be in the right-click context menu.
**Additional context**
Database Navigator allow expanding the table:

Bookmark does not (and it's not grouped by connection):

I know it's kind of just aesthetics, but I believe it would be helpful. :)
Thank you!
