This isn't really a thumbnail-type utility. It shows a list of a 
documents contents, i.e., the object names (with filter if desired), 
then allows you to jump to that item and select it.

So maybe "List and Pounce" :D -- that should produce some interesting 
translations!

"Object List/Select" -- a bit more sedate but also perhaps obtuse.

We certainly could legitimately call it a "Document Tree Selector" but 
again I think obtuse, and probably also hard to translate meaningfully.

This may be an instance where we need to search some language other than 
English for an apropos term, then do our best to translate to English 
and others.
