Easier method to add Parent Filter Group above the current Filter Group
When recording our UI we frequently need to go back and edit the elements in the repository.  Very typically we have to add a Parent Filter Group above the current Filter Group that was recorded.  This is due to us having many elements of the same type and same ID/Name amongst Silverlight Popups or amongst tabs in a tab control which causes collisions in our playback, wherein the wrong control is picked.

Here is an example:
1) Record UI
2) Click button
3) Stop Recording
4) Filter in Find Elements is setup as
XamlTag: ButtonEx
AutomationId: SearchButton
5) Several pages and tabs use this same element
6) What we find ourselves doing is deleting the current filter group recorded, creating a new top-level parent filter group based on either the current tab we are on or current popup we are in to delineate boundaries to ensure the control is unique.
7) In the previous step 6) we would really like the ability see a new button in the Find Element UI above the Yellow Filter Group box to add a Parent Filter.  This will help us avoid having to recreate the whole filter from scratch.
8) An even better option but would probably take some time to implement on the Telerik end would be able to tell Telerik, when you record my UI, ensure the Parent Filter Group is a Tab Control, a Popup Control, etc.  To guarantee delineation.
