Barbara - thanks for the detailed reply

Could you give me a few specifics

What construct would you suggest to accomplish the 'double click' taking you to correct item?

So I would be scoping to control inclusion of just those child records which match my background primary key? So as I moved to another parent then I'd set new parameter and use new result cursor? Or would parameter have another scope or function that I'm not understanding?
