Navigate Parts inside a Document

Hi!
I have a question regarding the navigation of parts inside a document.
I have been looking for a detailed list of all the parts that are contained within a document, so I can look at their part names, part number or descriptions, for instance.
I have tried to get that from the Workspace Properties tab, but a haven't been able to filter the results to Parts only. Also, If a want to see specific information, I have to expand the list of the Part Studio where the Part was created and left click on the specific Part, which is not very efficient.
Also, I tried the Tab Manager, which has a Search tab and filtering options, but only goes to the Part Studio level.
Through the Insert option inside an Assembly, Parts can be viewed, but detailed information is not shown. It is not very convenient either.
I feel the best tool to do so is the Advanced Search tab outside the document. But I haven't figured a way to filter all the Parts inside a specific document.
Any ideas?

I've dived into the corresponding FS Code and the command evaluateQuery only applies to a specific Context (the actual Part Studio). I've seen there is a opMergeContexts which could potentially expand the Context to every Part Studio inside the document but I am a bit stuck on how to actually do it.

EDIT: Actually, thinking about it you could use Variable Studios and just keep appending to the same variable
