Description
While preparing a demo for .NET9's [experimental connection tracing feature](https://github.com/dotnet/docs/blob/108f1e75cb1e83654d5b52980a3181ce61ef8cc2/docs/fundamentals/networking/telemetry/tracing.md#experimental-connection-spans-in-net-9), I discovered that after clicking `View` on the span link, the UI is showing the wrong span (keeps visualizing the request span):

I would like to see the linked `connection_setup` span expanded with it's subspans. To get there quickly, I tried to paste the spanID into the filter input box, but it filters by name by default, so eventually the quickest solution was to find the correct `connection_setup` span manually by scrolling down and using the browser's search function:

This feels like a bug, or if it works like this by design, the UX is clearly sub-optimal.
