Feature Suggestion - Isolate Layer

My biggest gripe with Substance Painter is not being able to isolate and view what an individual layer is doing. Once you have a lot of groups and layer stacks it becomes extremely combersome to toggle layers on and off. Could we utilize the drop down menu in the viewport that allows us to view individual maps and channels to give us not only a layer mask preview but the selected layer(s) as an option also?

 

Better yet, just give us a node graph, please and thank you.

sorry to nudge but I'm curious if there are any updates on this suggestion? Very intuitive useful feature, especially for those who come from Photoshop.

I totally agree... This feature would speed up the process, like in Ps.

better yet, If we could hold down alt and click on the layer to isolate it (just like isolating masks). Please and thank you.

Yes please! Especially troubleshooting with large amounts of folders and layers, it gets really tedious to manually show/hide 10-20 layers.
