TL;DR
Add hints/suggestions to inserter UIWhat ?
Small window on the right let you an quickly pick up/pipette the ghost of item and put it to filters (or logistic network settings).- factorio-filter-hints-enrichment.png (278.68 KiB) Viewed 509 times
I want hints/suggestions in inserter/loader/splitter/belt UI.
List of suggested item may consist of the products of connected assembler, content/filters of connected belts/boxes, contents of the splitter or signals from circuit network.
A player can left-click on a button to pick up the ghost item.
Or right-click to add the item to filters.
Or middle-click to add the item to logistic network condition.
I made a mod that implements this logic for assemblers + inserter/loader + left click.

Why ?
The suggestion is silly for base game. But there are big mods for Factorio (such as Space Exploration or Nullius) that add complex recipes with byproducts. To take different products out of assemblers you usually use filter inserters. And in Space Exploration there are lots of filters to configure!More Examples
