Select a fly among 100 flies

Hi there,

I'm wondering if there is a possibility to select a layer or a layer bone directly on the work-space window ? Like there is on Photoshop or other program ?

I'm asking that because I have hundred of flies on my animation, all has their own bone layer, and for sure I can't know where is placed the fly number x.

So it could be useful if i could select one of my character directly on the work-space window instead than the layer panel.

Best.

<alt> + <right mouse button> = go to layer

<alt> + <shift> + <right mouse button> = go to layer's parent

Another useful one is <ctrl/cmd> + <alt> + <right mouse button> on a switch layer's content in the workspace to animate a switchlayer easily.

There's also a handy 'layer selector' tool in the layer tools. I use that to pick one character from a dense crowd.
