A Way to Group ETL Tiles Together and Collapse Them Similar to Subtotal Rows in Table Cards

Something I could see being beneficial, at least from a quality-of-life standpoint, would be a way to group individual tiles together in ETL that are related to a specific action/process that could then be collapsed into one larger "process" (or whatever it would be called) tile. This process tile could then be named based on the actions and functions it contains and be left collapsed by default so that each time you enter to edit that ETL, you see the collapsed process tile by default rather than all of the individual tiles that make it up, but could still expand the process tile if you wanted to see all of the individual tiles it contains in case of additions, subtractions, or other edits.

I think of this similar to how subtotal rows in table cards can be collapsed to hide the rows that make it up by default when you first view the card, but the subtotal rows can still be expanded to view those rows that make it up if you so choose. This helps to clean up a table card's visuals while also still allowing more in-depth analysis by the expansion of the subtotal rows. In the same way, I see this as a way to help clean up a busy ETL's visuals and adds another way to clearly mark that certain tiles are linked together for a larger process in the ETL. I see this being particularly useful for segments of an ETL that are built out just to obtain a specific value or segments of repeated processes within the ETL.
