The Attribute Browser is really a great tool. The only limitation is that there is (almost) no way to move from one of the items listed there to a Map view of the same item (no right-click > Open in New Tab; right now I use a workaround mentioned here: From Attribute Browser to Map View? - #7 by laotang).
The model outlined in this thread would allow me to directly go to the Map view of a project, that was one of the reasons to go this route.
