My DB hierarchy is project-section-task and only 2 of these DB’s are visible at any time. If I have sections listed on the left, and each set of tasks (for a selected section) on the right and I click on a task to view its details:

Current Behavior (unless I’m missing sth, which is quite possible)

- section list collapses to a vertical bar on the left
- section detail displays in upper left quadrant
- task list (for that section) displays in lower left quadrant
- task detail displays on the right
- for me, this is somewhat distracting + I need to re-open the section to view other sections and tasks

Desired Behavior

- everything stays the same
- task detail displays as a popup modal or as a slide out panel
- for me, this would minimize the number of clicks to navigate

I want to keep this display even when a task is clicked:

Rather than this:

Is this possible? Not enough of a Fibery expert to know if this capability already exists.
