Feature Suggestion: show connected objects

If I want to investigate and "drill down" using the SQL Dependency Tracker, I select an object, Select Connected Objects, Invert and Hide .. the problem comes when I want to see another tier/level of dependencies.
If object A depends on object B and object B in tern depends on object C, and I did the above with object A it will only show A and B. I think a method similar to Show Hidden to show all B's dependencies (which are currently hidden) would be very helpful. E.g.: "Show Connected Objects" (showing/unhiding all connected objects limited to one additional one tier/level) of an object.
I hope I managed to explain the suggested feature clear enough to understand. Please let me know if I need to clarify anything.

I have added the details of this forum post to an existing Feature Request, whose reference is DT-509.
At this time the Feature Request is marked for review. Unfortunately I do have any further details at this time or what future version of SQL Dependency Tracker the feature will appear in.
Many Thanks
