Description

I'm always frustrated when I need to switch tabs when I want to run OQL query on one heap dump and want to compare its result on another heap dump, e.g., a query that shows sum of retained size of all objects with some property -- I would like to see if that number improved in a new heap dump compared to some baseline heap dump.

I'd multi-select several heapdumps in the left panel, right click -> open OQL console. The scripts in the console would be executed against all selected heapdumps and the results would be shown in some split panel (ideally so that I do not have to switch between tabs and quickly see the results for all heapdumps).

Research direction

Start by locating the left-panel heap-dump selection UI and the OQL console entry point. The issue proposes multi-selecting heap dumps, executing the console scripts against each, and presenting results in a split panel; done means users can compare those results without switching tabs.
