sdsf parmlib option give member name

We have the sdsf.parm command today. which lists the datasets in parmlib concatenation.
It would be good to be able to issue sdsf.parm IGDSMS00 and it displays
__ user.parmlib(IGDSMS00)

__ sys1,parmlib(IGDSMS00)

so I can then browse/edit it directly/

perhaps have sdsf.parm IGDSMS*
and it displays all members eg

__ user.parmlib(IGDSMS00)

__ user.parmlib(IGDSMS01)

__ user.parmlib(IGDSMSBA)

__ sys1.parmlib(IGDSMS00)

__ sys1.parmlib(IGDSMS03)

    This function is already supported.

    The SDSF "SRCH" command works on any panel in SDSF that lists PDS and/or PDSE datasets.

    In customer example, issuing "SRCH IGDSMS00" on the PARM panel will results in a list of all matching PARMLIB datasets. The SB/SE/SV actions can be issued to invoke ISPF BROWSE/EDIT/VIEW on the member.

    SRCH also supports wildcards in the member name.

    It would be good if I could say PARM SMS, and the code determines which IGDSMSxx member is being used, and display the libraries where they are found

    D OMVS gives

    d omvs

    BPXO042I 11.21.22 DISPLAY OMVS 670

    E OMVS=(TC,00,01,BP,IZ,RZ,BB,ZW,US)

    Im not sure how you would order them

    eg user.parmlib(....TC)

    user,parmlib(..00)

    sys1,parmlib(..00)

    sys1.parmli(...BP)

    etc
