As a developer: It would be nice to have a fast way to find variant prefabs from base prefabs

    Imagine you created a car prefab (it's your base prefab). You create 20+ different variant prefabs from your car prefab.

    I would find it beneficial to be able to quickly find all those variants derived from a specific prefab.

    Two ideas to make this happen:
    First - Right click on the prefab, within the pop-up contextual menu, have a "Find Variant Prefabs". Which would display all those prefabs in a window pop-up.

    Second - Open your base prefab in prefab mode and somehow show all the variants in there, so you can quickly jump into and out of variant prefabs.

    Nevertheless, I like where the new prefab system is headed. :)
