Be able to set format of storage location in the parts list

[timbslr]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I have multiple storage containers whose boxes are each labeled from A1 to D8. So the locations A1 to D8 exist multiple times (with different parent locations).

Describe the solution you'd like I´d like to be able to set the format storage location in the parts list to the arrow representation (Box1->A1, Box3->A1) so I can see the whole storage location in the list instead of having to hover over it to get to the right container.

Describe alternatives you've considered A clear and concise description of any alternative solutions or features you've considered.

Additional context Add any other context or screenshots about the feature request here.

I was looking for a similar behavior and came up with the following patch which shows up to 2 parents (which is enough for my use case):

What's still missing is a way to make this configurable, possibly per storage location. If somebody could give me some pointers on howto implement that I could try to prepare a pull request.
