It should be better to work in Composition window while layers are labeled just like in figma with their names, layer colors and contextual track and trick mattes. Also it could be useful to add hide and solo properties into context menus (kinda we already seen in Photoshop and Illustrator), tailored to selected layers. It's like a dynamic island but truly dynamic. Also you can borrow some ideas from FX Console plugin from Video Copilot.

You can already do that in AE.

Right-click and at the bottom of a Menu there is a Select group just like how Photoshop does.

There is also a Switches group which lets you do things like lock, solo, hide, etc.
