Problem to solve

It's a real pain to navigate between projects within a group/subgroup

Further details

Navigating between issues and merge requests within a single project that is comprised of multiple repo's is very slow, I'm hoping it can be sped up.

Proposal

Breadcrumbs component for project within a group becomes a dropdown for all projects within that group.

Let's take this hierarchy for a project called MyProject:

• Level 1
  • Group A
  • Group B
    • Subgroup X
    • Subgroup Y
      • MyProject
    • Subgroup Z
  • Group C

If the truncated breadcrumb looks like this:

Level 1 > ... > MyProject

The previous breadcrumb menu on ellipsis would show:

• Group B
  • Subgroup Y

Now with #338012 (closed) when we click on the ellipsis the breadcrumb expands to:

Level 1 > Group B > Subgroup Y > MyProject

Now if each of the segment/section/slice of the breadcrumb is a dropdown...

Clicking on Group B would show:

• Group A
• Group B (selected)
• Group C

Or, clicking on "Subgroup Y" would show:

• Subgroup X
• Subgroup Y (selected)
• Subgroup Z

This is similar to the dropdown navigation that you see in VSCode

What does success look like, and how can we measure that?

Navigation speed is greatly improved
