new feature request: link to appearances tab in the collections window

[ScottIngram]

When trying to open up my tier transmog in the base collections window, I find myself needing to remember the stupid name "undermine foo" or "nerubian blah" to enter in the search bar.

Please add a button/link/whatever from your collections window that will open up the corresponding entry in the collections -> appearances -> sets UI.

Please & TY :-)

I might add the name of the set to the UI, maybe

opening the collections window is something I'm not sure if I want to even attempt to do safely (these things have a tendency to blow up.. even opening the dressing room UI is only possible by making a secure macro button that runs a /outfit command 🙈)

second reason is that I currently don't actually store the set IDs for non-current seasons, since the set UI/APIs turned out to be somewhat unreliable 😕

As a fellow addon developer: a WoW API that's unreliable?! Inconceivable!!! My disdain of the WoW APIs is writ large in the comments of my code.

I've run into similar problems with the parts of the Bliz UI that are load-on-demand. So, I manually demand they load via:
C_AddOns.LoadAddOn("Blizzard_Collections")
Which may or may not help the problem you've found.

Nah, the problem is taint
I can get the UI to open as needed (though maybe not in combat), but many things might break due to taint
