Add ability to focus specific setting from search result about switchboard HOT 5 CLOSED

It would be great if at the same time could reduce some information duplication. Currently we have:

• supported_settings (listing uri's and locations)
• the views / pages themselves (title and location)
• search with setting paths, a combination views / pages titles (again) and setting labels, and again locations
• Settings themselves with their labels

It would be great if we could create a system similar to how in word you can create headers of different levels and it can automatically create a table of contents.
So in this case a way to add "path" like info to page titles and individual settings.

It kind of seems like this could already be done in the search_callback () in each plug. I'm not sure what more Switchboard could do on the library level. This seems like an issue for each individual plug

My idea was you create something on the Switchboard level that you can reuse in all the plugs, reducing code duplication and maintaining consistency.

@peteruithoven I guess I'm not sure how that could be done technically. Given that switchboard doesn't know what is inside plugs, how could the library say which page to switch to and which widget to give focus to?

I'm gonna close this for Switchboard because I don't think it's possible to do it from Switchboard's side. If we'd like to do this it has to be implemented in each plug
