    Sadly, this feature is only a 'half implementation' as it currently stands.

    To be useful, a quickmark should effectively 'snapshot' the node state when creating the Quickmark.

    That is, don't only store the selected node, but also it's DISPLAY/ENABLE/TEMPLATE flags.

    Doing the above allows you to quickly view different 'states' of the tree, which is a constant task in Houdini and made very cumbersome by the lack of toolset to support the need.

    For example; if I select the top of my tree, make it the display output, then click CTRL+1, this state should be remembered. The next time I press 1, I select the node, but more importantly, also see it in isolation of the downstream-tree.
