Selecting surface should show material in material browser

Selecting surface does not show material in material browser. This was extremely useful feature in editor 1, unfortunately not implemented into editor 2:

Hi!
Do you want to see the material in material hierarhy, or you want to select the material in hierarhy after selection of surface?

After selecting surface open hierarchy (to know location of material in hierarchy) and select the material. Of course only in case material hierarchy tab is active. Simply same behaviour as in editor 1. Thanks!

But you will lost selection from surface, because you cant select surface and material in the same time) Editor 1 has not a universal parameters window, it has separate parameters for materials.
But i have an idea how we can make the same workflow in editor 2. We want to make several parameters windows with special filters. For example you will have special parameters window only for materials and the same time universal window as now.
I agree it is a problem, we will work on it.)

Well, if select is problem, it would be fine to at least open material hierarchy to show, under which parent this material is.
