Current Context Menu

Hi Heiko, I tested the solution implemented in bug 128058 but it does not
address the issue I originally discussed because it is only available for the
"Headings" section (see attached ODG file). It is not possible to
collapse/expand all entries in the Navigator at once. The current
implementation only covers items inside the "Headings" category.

Moreover the current implementation does not cover "Tables", "Images" and so
on. Try selecting and then right-clicking the "Tables" entry in the navigator
and notice that the context menu does not have the "Collapse all / Expand all"
option that exists in the "Headings" section.

What I would like to suggest is a way to collapse/expand all top-level entries
at once (Headings, Tables, Images, etc), which is currently not possible. Note
in the first image I attached that when the proposed toggle button is pressed,
only top-level entries are shown.

Also note that extending the context menu from the "Headings" section to the
other types of items would not suffice, because the user would have to repeat
the steps for all types to collapse them all. That's why I believe there should
be a way to collapse/expand all top-level items.

The feature I'm proposing would be very useful for large documents. Suppose
your reading a thesis with hundreds of headings, tens of images, frames,
hundreds of comments and you just want to see the comments down below. If it
were possible to collapse all entries, it would be much easier to get to the
Comments section.
