Indeed, this is needed.

I've once found a "fast-list" or similar on github, that goes in
that direction. But no, we don't have it now. As mentioned, I
have a plan how to do it, but I haven't realized it yet. That's
one of the things we'd need to create as part of the framework.

<br>
That problem is inherent, because the XUL <tree> widget
was originally written specifically for Thunderbird. Firefox
didn't need it. And it might also go away now, if Firefox
doesn't need it anymore.

FWIW, I think a lot of the web would profit from a widget like
that - so if we can implement something like it as e.g. a web
component, I think there may be some interest in taking this as a
base for a web standard with an in-browser widget in the future -
IMHO, this is one of the biggest pieces HTML is lacking to become
a really useful UI language nowadays.
