    1. CODo you want to go up the tree more than once? For example `C:\ ` + `Folder 1` + `Subfolder 1` ..?

    2. CONot an answer, but if the html you posted is in your control, meaning if you can modify it, I'd strongly suggest you wrap the `C:\\` part in a `span` element or something similar. Your problem will be come more easier IMO.

Guidance
A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
