Selecting rows in the table selects the corresponding items in the graphical view and move the focus in the graphical view to those items where possible. Conversely, selecting items in the graphical view selects the corresponding rows in the table.
From the graphical view of a track, the table can be opened in a linked view using one of the following methods:

Several tools for creating tracks with a subset of items are also available, including:
