Description

Love the rerender reasons feature! One additional feature that would be useful is to identify in the UX which hook rerender. Since hooks don't have names, providing the number would suffice. Making it clickable to focus on the component and right hook in the elements panel would be amazing!

Research direction

Start with the existing rerender reasons feature and the developer-tools UX for the elements panel. Define how the UI should identify the hook number that caused a rerender and what clicking it should focus; done means the hook number is shown and the relevant component and hook can be focused.
