    Hi Sara,

    Not as far as I know but someone else may have some suggestions.

    As an alternative, what you can do is have a pop up dashboard with the Tree View component for the user to search/select. This has a couple of Tree types, notably "Search" and "Filter" - i like filterable ones as it will filter the options as you type.
