Ideas for a revamped Explore/Observations Search Page

1) Once a well defined taxon has been selected in a “taxon box”, display upper taxomic ranks after another clic is done in the box.

For instance:

In the example above, I am searching for a species that could match an observation, after the AI failed to help me. If I don’t find a species that matches in the Tribe, I want to search for it in the Subfamily, and then in the Family.

This feature would spare my time (and likely server resources as well, because it would avoid useless intermediary requests).

2) Clicking on an upper rank taxon would update the page according to the new taxon selected.

3) This feature is to be transposed in different contexts, in different pages, wherever a quick access to upper taxonomic ranks makes sence.

This feature request may be considered also as a superset of this other one:
