Suggestion - Add "Computer Workbench" to keep focus to single collection of Computers

One of the more bothersome issues, our DTC users frequently have to deal with, is after having selected a Custom Group, or even Domain group of computers to work with (such as from the patch management tab), they will click on one of the computers to expand the details, and if they try to return back to the collection of computers they want to work with, they are back at the start, having to again filter from all computers, back down to the, custom group or domain etc., that they started with.  This is particularly frustrating if you need to go through a couple pages of computers, and happen to lose your place.

I would appreciate some means of being able to work within the same collection for a period of time, until I complete whatever information I'm gathering from my list, or running whatever routine against the computers I happen to be doing. 

I would like to suggest, the addition of a "Computer  Workbench",  in DTC, which just like a desktop support's person's workbench, allows you to work through a stack of computers, one- at- a time, without having to inspect every computer you own, when you go to access the next computer in your current stack. 

What I'm thinking of for example,  is from within any of the Work Areas  in DTC, where a computer, "filter-by", is available (such as Domain, Remote Office or Custom Group), there be an option for me to SET my current workbench.  So for instance if I am working on my custom group "CFB's Computers", if I have selected to SET My Current Workbench", then I can get all the way to the last page of  this  collection of computers, and move back to the first or second or any other page of list of computers in that collection, and I'm not going to have to leave that "SET workbench collection", until I click another button to "Clear My Workbench. 

Do you understand what I'm suggesting?  I know the desktop people would love this as would the server support staff, and frankly most of our users would like to just work within a single collection at a time, even though they certainly have permission to access more. 

The frequent filtering of the list of computers to narrow in on the custom group of computers, we need to work with at a time, is a nuisance.  I hope some improvement to provide a similar option to what I'm suggesting is feasible.

Thank you

Edit Note:  I'm working with a specific group of servers at the moment about 40, in Patch management.  I want to move from "healthy", "Vulnerable", "Highly vulnerable", perform several single configurations, to catch some late released patches, or even testing some non-security patches on some systems that I know I can reboot, but I want to do all these things, and each time I complete a configuration, go back into patch management, and still work with that same group.
