organizing the tree (dataexplorer), filtering...

There are a many threads on how to organize / filter overloaded trees in big databases. I just want to add one very static / rudimentary solution, which would solve about 90% of my personal tree-related annoyances:

A (static) template attribute (checkbox): "do not show in tree"

These items consequently would behave like files in the windows explorer:
- they show up only in the child items window (not in the tree)
- they are a dead end for the tree (as files are compared to folders in the windows explorer) - well, not necessarily, see my following post below.

Especially in databases with a relatively small tree structure but with tons of sibling document items, the browsability of the tree would become strikingly better.

I wonder if there are other users with the same problem?
