Add datasets to library

yes, I know many don't care what their datasets are but (1) it would be much easier on the forums to help people discover whether or not they have a required dataset (2) for some of us, being able to identify the dataset and the date last updated can be very useful --- reading the side bar becomes very tiring and annoying.

Library resources can be clicked to open, which is not viable for datasets. Would appreciate an interactive tool showing dataset list with last update, ideally with link to dataset documentation.0

@KS4J I agree that they should not open. I also don't believe they require an information panel. I leave the implementation of how to separate them as indirectly accessible to Faithlife -- separate page, separate section, separate typeface, with/without link to documentation. . . I know from the betas of the last major revision of the library, that they do appear in the library when the code is incomplete. Therefore, I know I am asking for a feature that is not difficult to implement.

It is not difficult to implement because their metadata is stored in the Library Catalog db e.g.
Title, Abbrev Title, Type, Edition, Copyright, Publisher, Publication Date, Last Updated
So an Info panel would be useful and allow changes to Title, Abbreviated Title as well as allow Rating and My Tags.
It should be an Optional display and they should not be counted/treated as Library resources (no recognition outside Library).0
