It is often useful to get a quick overview of an object.
Could the export plug-ins be used for a QuickView? (I did a sampling of export formats with a 1 person filter for this posting. A suprising number exported a multi-megabyte full Tree despite the filter being set for a single person. CSV, JSON and RAW all refused to filter.)
So say that you wanted to audit the following person from the Gramps Example Tree:
Instead of copying the Person to the Clipboard, using the Clipboard context menu to create a custom filter, going to export feature. choosing XML as the export format, setting the filter to the clipboard custom filter, bypassing the other filters (living, privacy), filtering out disconnected items, disabling compression, selecting a destination, then finding and opening the created file; all you do is select the person and choose the QuickView.
Which pops a window with:
