Feature Request: Hide Charts instead of close - and make them reopen easy

While planing or flying, you can overly approach charts, VAC or Airfiled charts. Very nice. But only one remains open, thats bad.

Whats about add another Button in a corner of the embedded chart that hides the chart. Only a small boarder remains and the button to reopen the chart again. 

While flying, I dont like to open the airfield tab, search for the chart and click a third time to see it in the map. Just see them on the moving map and reopen them from there (one click).

With the flightplan, that result in a certain sort order of prefered charts for a flight. A kind of the paper work, when I sort the paper charts and take them with me (what I won't do it anymore).

So additionally add a new register in flight mode ("Flight Plan", "Charts", "In Flight Doc") where all these charts are located to open them easy. And why not let the user add some custom files (PDF) as well for one-click-access in flight. And custom sort.

And btw: When I use custom data points, I cant see them anymore when a chart is embedded. Please bring the custom data in the foreground.

Thanks for voting.

I posted a different request a while ago for the same problem:
