Find in project tree vision

This feature request is quite simple and could be a quick win; i really miss this.

When I am browsing a large project and switching frequently between directories, I always have the time-consuming task to look for the location of already opened files (to open another from there, create new there, etc). Imagine, that you have Controller and Model main directories with several subdirectories and you always have to scroll the project tree for locating those files that you are working with.

I assume that there could be a "Find in project tree" command in the context menu of File tabs. This command would locate the file in question in the project tree, scroll there and select it. Find the attached picture.

There is "Select in Projects" action in the context menu of file tabs.
