Research direction

Start by comparing how components or folders are implemented for the Symbols sidebar with the current Types sidebar. Define how folders should group and display types, then verify that the Types sidebar supports the intended grouping without changing the separate Type Archives behavior.

Description

Effort: Low Impact: Low UI: Symbols UI: Types

What is the feature you'd like to have?
I'd like support for components/folders in the Types sidebar.

Is your feature request related to a problem?
I have a bunch of types, I want to group them, but components/folders for the Types sidebar doesn't exist like it does for the Symbols sidebar. I thought about Type Archives, but I feel like they serve a different purpose and components/folders are the better solution for what I'm looking for.

Are any alternative solutions acceptable?
