When you "go to an item" from search results, you actually do...

If you find something using search in 11.03 and then right-click on the item one option is to "go to the item".  But if you choose this, you go to the page, but not the item.  So I've just looked for an expense entry, searched for it, found it, clicked on the "go to attached item" and get dumped into a list of all expense items linked to a project, at a date no where near the one found in the search results.  Which really isn't helpful!

Would be better if when you did this you got sent to page and the item you had selected in search results was showing, and highlighted!

  The Go To contextual command will show the parent item, not to the selected work/todo/invoice etc within the parent item. The go to command will also not change the recent selection of the parent item's view (for example, if a project was in overview mode and you go to the search, find a debt/credit, and tell Studiometry to go to that debt's project, the project will be shown in overview mode).

  The purpose of the Go To is to simply Go To the parent item using the parent item's view mode. If you want to view more information on the debt/to do/etc, you can double-click it to open it directly within the search view.

  I'm not sure I understand.  The "go to attached item" menu command actually means something like "go to the project this item comes from"?  Either change the label or fix the functionality.  Yes, you can double click on the entry and edit it.  But how do you duplicate it, or move it to a different project?
