Is there a way to bring your favorites into the explore tab?

in case anyone is interested, i extracted the list of favorited observation IDs using Power Automate Desktop (built into Windows 11). below is the flow definition that i used. to add this into your own instance of Power Automate Desktop, you could create your own blank flow and then just copy and paste the code below into your flow.
