Description of problem:
I am currently working on RHEL Installation Guide.
This book is divided into 1036 files, each one contains small amount of text.
I believe this is a part of the new method "Topic Based Authoring" (which
divide a book into small sections according to topic, so that they can be
reused in other books). This is giving us a hard time when working on zanata.
We have to click each file to open and work, then move on to anther file, and
so on.
It is particularly hard when we have to change a terminology or an expression
throughout entire document. 
We also cannot see how text flows in a chapter and unable to understand the
context.
I know that the next version of zanata will have inter-file find/replace and it
will help to some degree, but I am wondering if it is possible for you to
create an option to view all strings from all files in one working windows, so
we do not go in and out of 1000+ files.

This option should be very important if the Content Service move towards topic
based authoring and a project like this would become a norm in the near future.
