    doc: Diagram Tree update
    
    New Diagram Tree has a bunch of fancy new features:
     - nicer look, sorting more obvious (I think)
     - can search for object name by simply typing it
     - multiple selection (works across layers!)
     - allows to transfer the selection to the diagram
     - tooltips for additional information
