One trick I use the Collection Clipboards for is for an additional long-term bookmark.

Add the CC to the People sidebar. You can drag-n-drop various people records to the CC. If you right-click on a record on the CC you can make it the active record.

Caution. If you migrate between different database trees, an object in one tree but not in another will disappear from CC’s. if you navigate to that view.
