Hierarchy views. This will cause them to become landmarks, and
to populate those views with related elements. To get rid of
an element from an active view it needs to be made less interesting
than a landmark, which can be done by right-clicking it in any view
and selecting the "Make Less Interesting" action, or by hitting
Ctrl+Alt+Shift+Down Arrow when editing that element.<p>
