Show parents/ancestors option #37

Hi, thank you for the great plugin!

This is a feature request/idea: how about offering an option to show resource parents/ancestors (i.e.: reverse hierarchy). It's extremely useful when you have many CRDs and are confused which CR has others.

This is by design not supported so that the chosen object can be the root of the tree. Otherwise it might be part of a very large tree that might be hard to spot.

Similarly an object might have more than one owner, in that case we don't wanna show multiple trees.
