Description
Preflight Checklist
- I have installed the latest version of Storage Explorer.
- I have checked existing resources, including the troubleshooting guide and the release notes.
- I have searched for similar issues.
Problem
Being able to distinguish between containers which have the same name but are in different storage accounts. Currently, the container name appears in the tab and it is not readily clear to which storage account it belongs.
Desired Solution
Provide the ability to create alias name which appears in the tab for a container (eg. Prod. ADL, Pre-prod ADL) or be able to use the name as pinned in the Quick Access area.
Alternatives and Workarounds
If haven't found any alternatives. My workaround is to have to hover over the tab to see the quick access name or the storage account name.

Start by reviewing the container tab labels and the Quick Access area mentioned in the issue, then compare the alias and pinned-name alternatives. Done means containers with identical names can be distinguished by a user-chosen alias or their Quick Access name in tabs, including across different storage accounts.
