Thank you for the info, so info in the two linked threads must be considered obsolete.

Thus, filtering in Data Explorer (now, thankfully, also possible for default items) has to be made carefully since "filter orphans" are not displayed; the user might not be aware of that.

Combination of two flags, first for construct, second for some core info or the like, remains possible IF the user makes sure they have no third flag / item "format" in the respective parentage of the flagged items to appear; this would mean that the user might be driven to FLATTEN out the hierarchy (which makes the navigation more cumbersome, but that's obviously the only way).

The really awful (sic!) aspect of this otherwise absolutely helpful feature is the fact that in-between, when I toggle between filter view and regular tree view, the tree is not anymore in the form it was before the filter view, but is completely expanded; perhaps the filter view toggle could store, then restore the tree in its previous state before filtering? Feasibility also depends on the existent code base, of course, which I obviously do not know.
