[Silva-general] slide up to parent publication?

The link you need is already there. In the head of the the sidebar,
the left uplink is a double tree (as opposed to a tall tree, as on the
tabs). That link will jump up, out of the enclosing publication, to
its parent. Thus you can go from folderAA to the internet-root in one
click. Deciding to go to site2 would mean two clicks. You can't go up
and down faster than that :-)
