Rename tabs

I would like the ability to open multiple tabs and rename them. Currently, the tabs are rendered as Documents Ideally, I could change the tab heading so that it's easier to navigate between the tabs

    It would greatly improve usability if MongoDB Compass allowed users to rename or assign custom titles to open tabs (e.g., query tabs, aggregation tabs, collection views). When working with multiple tabs across several collections or databases, the default titles like mydb.mycollection make it difficult to keep track of each tab’s purpose. Custom tab names (e.g., "High-Priority Orders" or "Monthly Aggregation Test") would enhance productivity and make it easier to navigate between tabs, especially during complex workflows. This feature is common in many developer tools and would be a valuable addition to Compass.

    The naming convention for tabs is awful. The most relevant piece of information - the collection name is typically clipped to 4 or 5 characters whereas each tab has a huge amount of space dedicated to the telling you "Dcouments" in bold. If instead the collection name is at the top with the schema then DB below that would be far more useful. Maybe just have an icon to indicate if the tab is a Document or a Query.

    Right now the title show Documents . If you have a longer DB name, the schema name is not visible at all.

    Add the ability to rename the tabs. Compass automatically names the tabs based on the functionality that is currently used like aggregation, documents, etc... When working with multiple tabs it would be nice to be able to name them so that you can easily identify the one you want.
