Select filtered layer in main layer tree

Thinking out loud, this could be scripted.

Edit: I wanted to do this using the unique layer ID, however, it appears that the layer content filter messes this up?

So I had to resort to using the less-than-ideal layer/group name value (which only works consistently as expected if there are unique layer/group names). 

Script 1 of 2:

#target photoshop

// Script 1 of 2

try {
    if (activeDocument.activeLayer.parent.typename === "LayerSet") {
        $.setenv(theGroup_5c4e7860 = activeDocument.activeLayer.parent.name);
        $.setenv(theLayer_7e8fb92a = activeDocument.activeLayer.name);
    } else {
        alert("The selected layer isn't in a layer group!");
    }
} catch (e) { }

Script 2 of 2:

#target photoshop

// Script 2 of 2

try {
    activeDocument.activeLayer = activeDocument.layers[theGroup_5c4e7860];
    // Expand active group by jazz_y
    var g = (ad = activeDocument).activeLayer;
    if (g.typename == 'LayerSet' && g.layers.length) ad.activeLayer = g.layers[0];
    ad.activeLayer = g;
    activeDocument.activeLayer = activeDocument.layerSets[theGroup_5c4e7860].layers[theLayer_7e8fb92a];
} catch (e) {}
