Comment 2 for bug 171441

More details of what you mean and screenshots of the other
applications might be useful.

I do know the developers did deliberately plan to keep the
Layers dialog to just Layers and not make it into a full
Object view but I'm not sure if that is quite what you are
asking for. (That is not to say I wouldn't mind having a
full Object Tree but bugs asking to turn the layers dailog
inot one have been closed already)
