Description:
The + opperator allows a query to automagically select all pages meeting given params DIRECTLY via a SMW property and INDIRECTLY via any subproperties. However, the associated * operator only displays the params from the named parent property. The only way to display subproperty values is to hard-code each needed property into the query.

This enhancement request is to add functionality to display the property and subproperty values for all pages selected by a + query. Essentially, this allows for a display of the list of selected pages along with the specific property value. This has been discussed on the SMW UG, and the consensus seems to be that while there is a use case for this, there is also a use case for the existing functionality. Therefore, maybe we need an alternate "display all subproperties" syntax, e.g.,

[[Prop_name::*]] (current syntax, current functionality)
[[Prop_name*::*]] (note extra *, would add "display subproperties" functionality)

Thanks!
