Description
Looking at the HATS RTD, the menu options in the left-hand-side for the API reference have a lot of unnecessary duplication:
API reference
└── hats
├── hats.catalog
├── hats.inspection
└── ...
I would really love if we could have it be simpler:
hats API reference
├── catalog
├── inspection
└── ...
this includes the package name in the top-level, and omits the package name from the submodule names.
I don't even know if sphinx/autoapi supports this, but I can dream, right?

Research direction
Start by locating the Sphinx/AutoAPI configuration that generates the API reference in the Read the Docs documentation. Check whether its options can produce the requested top-level package name and shorter submodule labels. Done means the rendered left-hand navigation shows “hats API reference” with entries such as “catalog” and “inspection” without repeated package names.
