If I want to reveal snippets in a topic I also have to reveal the topic as a whole before the snippets become visible in player view.

This works well and no complaints here.

My problem is, that the name of the topic is automatically revealed when the topic is revealed. In player view it appears as the name of the window displaying the revealed snippets.

In my view this is far from optimal.

I would prefere a "reveal button" (I have forgotten the excat term right now; those grey-turn-green orbs next to all infomation) for the topic name as well.

Let me illustrate with an example why I think this is important:

I have a character, Finn Sawdust. He is the mayor in a town that the players are using as a base of operationsfor the time being. All know Finn Sawdust, jovial, friendly, easy to smile, actually a quite good mayor.

Now and then, normally on stormfull nights, Finn Sawdust the Mayor transfers into the Midnight Crawler, an infamous and feared burglar and murderer.

I create Finn Sawdust. I describe him. I add "Midnight Crawler" as an alias.

During a session the players get a not-too-good a look at the Midnight Crawler (man, 1 meter 90, heavyset, curly hair).

I reveal the Alias, I reveal the description of Finn Sawdust, but not more than that.

However, when I reveal those data I get the following in the player view:

"Finn Sawdust" as name of the window (this sort of spoils the plot).
The description.
But not (surprisingly) the alias.

Now, what am I doing wrong?
Or is this feature lacking?

Legend has it, that the Tarrasque is a huge fighting beast, perpetually hungry.
Sleet entered History when he managed to get on the back of a Tarrasque only to be ridden out of History shortly after.
