GitHub user dominikriemer added a comment to the discussion: Support multiple node query for OPC UA adapter

I'd personally like a feature to browse the complete tree without having to lookup the parent node id from an external tool.
As you say, it is not straightforward to add flexible browsing behaviour to the TreeInput component, which should ideally be asynchronous to avoid loading very large trees at once.

So I see the following options currently, which @tenthe has already described:
* Allow to enter more than one nodeId as a parent node in form of  a list and show one tree per entered parent node. (pro: easy to implement, con: no ideal UX)
* Query the whole tree at once (+ add a search feature to the tree selection component) and accept that there are major performance drawbacks in case of large trees (pro: flexible + powerful, con: performance)
* Write a new StreamPipes plugin/UI view which allows asynchronous browsing and creation of adapters from this view by bypassing the StreamPipes Connect view. (very flexible + powerful, could potentially support more protocols from PLC4X, con: implementation effort)
