This is not quite the kind of user experience we should be delivering...

That is for the schematic file. I want to see the name (not with full
path) of a symbol that is already in a schematic. I know how to do
this with a text editor and if I have to go manually operating on
things that is how I would do it because the stuff you listed is cool
but way longer than vi schematicname.sch

Fair enough.
