Proposal

My suggestion is to enhance the static breadcrumb that is displayed while navigating a project's files. Specifically, I'd like to see dynamic navigation similar to how the breadcrumbs within Visual Studio Code operate.

Let's imagine the following very simple project structure.

- src
   |
   - components
      |
      - Header
         |
         - index.js
         - Header.js
         - helpers.js
      - Body
      - Footer
   - utils
- package.json

image If I am currently viewing Header.js, I'd like to be able to click (possibly a new dropdown) a crumb and see the other files/directories at that level and be able to navigate into them directly. It would save time having to navigate back a bunch and down into directories and reduce the constant opening of things in new browser tabs.

Here is a screenshot of how Visual Studio Code would show this scenario.
