For a composite part in a part studio, how can I find the feature that created that part?

Hello Onshapers,
For a composite part in a part studio created by a Composite part feature (vs derived), how can I find that feature that created it?
I would expect cross-highlighting between the feature list and parts list, but that doesn't happen for composite parts.
With sufficient discipline, when creating a composite part I could also always rename both the feature and part to the same name. But I fail. How can Dr. Jekyll figure out what Mr. Hyde did half a year ago?
The AI Advisor came up with the same answer I've found so far: "The provided search results discuss composite parts in detail, explaining what they are and how to create them [footnote Using Composite Parts in Onshape], but they do not provide a step-by-step guide for locating the specific feature that generated a composite part in the feature list." Maybe because it's still me asking the same misguided question. A few searches in the forums here haven't turned up any help.
The search space isn't huge and I can eventually find the right feature, but it seems like there should be a more direct way.
