ArcGIS Pro 2.9.12; Oracle 18c 10.7.1 EGDB:
I have a linear referencing Route Event Layer in the Contents pane. I've given the layer an alias (in the feature layer, not in the geodatabase): "route event layer alias".
In the Contents pane —> List Data By Source tab, the layer's alias is shown, which I think is expected.
Idea:
After the layer name/alias, show the layer's table name in brackets:
route event layer alias (INFRASTR.LC_EVENTS)
That would allow me to easily see what the underlying data source is for each layer without going into the layer Properties —> Source.

Just so I make sure the Idea here is clear.
Can this be distilled to:
" When viewing layers in the 'List by Data Source' tab of the contents pane, I'd like to see both the table name and alias name displayed instead of just the alias name "
Is that a correct interpretation of the idea?
@SSWoodward Yes, that's right. Thanks.
A different option from putting the table name in brackets might be: to add an additional column to the Source tab:
NAME/ALIAS TABLE TAME
---------- ----------
route event layer alias INFRASTR.LC_EVENTS
