Extend table view to show also inherited elements (like feature within Feature dialog)

The inheritance (generalization) is one topic that can be used to avoid copying of elements within the model. So we are using it for example for our interface modeling. The used elements of a signal like attribute, operations or FlowProperties are defined once and then used in several interfaces via the generalization. That ensures the consistency, because it is defined once and reused in different elements.

The main problem is now that if i create a table view to see an overview about all interfaces and their content, i see only a subset of the used signals (attributes, operations, FlowProperties) because the inherited elements are not shown in the table. You can activate to see also where a generalization is available (answer from IBM support), but that does not help because the values and the tags are not shown in the table view.

Therefore i would like to extend the table view with a function "Show inherited" like it is also avaible within the feature dialog, where this can be already activated. If this is activated not only the local elements, but also the inherited are shown inside of the table view. Then it would be possible to have a complete overview about the interfaces itself.
