Link timeline clips to their source AI Visuals tile

The AI Visuals history panel shows every image and video generated across all of a user's projects, not just the current one. That is useful, but the list grows constantly as Descript is used for more projects, which makes it harder and harder to find the tile behind a specific clip.
Request: when a user selects an AI-generated image or video clip in the timeline, give them a way to jump straight to its source tile in the AI Visuals panel. Either auto-select the tile or offer a one-click option such as "Show in AI Visuals". The tile holds the generated visual and the prompt that created it. The panel should scroll to that tile even if it is buried deep in the history.
Why it matters: a common workflow is building one ad, then duplicating the project to produce other aspect ratios, such as 9 by 16 for YouTube Shorts, square for ads, and widescreen. To keep each version identical, the user must find the exact tile behind each clip, reuse its prompt, change the dimensions, and regenerate. Today that means scrolling through a history spanning every project and guessing which tile matches. The cost grows with every project the user creates.
Optional improvement: a filter in the AI Visuals panel for "This project only" would help as well.
