I can see what you mean, although I am not sure if there is a good UI
for tree-like navigation in this scenario. At least, I can't think of
one. I am not sure how undo-tree-like interface would work here.

This is not like mark ring though - just search across specific object
types in buffer. Something akin next/previous-button.

This part about branching is not very clear.
