Viewing home folder/s of a bookmark

Hi! Is there any way to have Home Folder listed as a column when I search, in addition to Name, Location, and Most Recent Visit?

Sometimes I duplicate a bookmark accidentally and sometimes on purpose, like when I want to be sure I remember, say, a craft method by listing it in both the Crafts and Christmas folders.

So when I do a search for a bookmark or bookmarks containing a particular name, the results often list duplicates. What I would like to be able to do is easily see what folder each is in, so I know if the duplication is accidental or purposeful. If the former, I want to delete the unwanted bookmark.

Also, seeing the home folders of the search hits might remind me of other folders I ought to look at for the topic I'm currently pursuing. (I've been at this a long time and I have a LOT of bookmarks!)

I have a feeling the answer is, no, you can't do that. Is it something other people might find useful and that you might consider adding?

Thanks!
