Expect breadcrumb to show library #1329

🧭 Navigation and IA feedback Page: https://next.carbondesignsystem.com/libraries/ibmdotcom-web-components/latest/assets/callout-quote Issue: When going to an asset page I expected the breadcrumb on the top left to show me only the Carbon for IBM.com components, but instead it brings you back to the component page with no filter Suggestion: Possibly automatically add the filter for the library being used depending on which asset page you are on

from discussion:

kingtraceyj 19 hours ago Collaborator ariellalgilmore thanks for logging this. did you come from the component catalog or from a specific library?

Alternate suggestion, keep catalogs out of the asset pages' breadcrumb and go with:

IBM.com Web Components v1.23.0
  - Assets
    - Callout quote

so you can in one click, go back to the assets for that library, which would meet Ari's expectations.

This feedback is related: https://github.com/carbon-design-system/carbon-platform/issues/1316#issuecomment-1270332743

In addition, I expect the cumulative time that our users are on the usage, style, code, and accessibility tabs to be greater than that of the overview tab; when productively using the site, I expect users to be on the overview tab the minority of the time.

As designed, you can only get to that component's library, or other components in that component's library, through the overview tab, the dashboard.

It would really be nice to allow this desirable navigation on all page tabs by having it in the page header's breadcrumb.

IBM.com Web Components v1.23.0
  - Assets
    - Callout quote
