It has been simplified, but I agree that it's still not quite right. That's
why the corresponding report was left open, and we really do need to get it
right for 0.6 so you can expect it to get attention soon.
112233: improve interaction for filtered element navigation

This is not Alt-Click specific, since Alt-click is a tree viewer feature and
knows nothing about contexts. However, I agree with your use case, and
believe that the best way to resolve it is by fixing a related bug (that you
filed):
130628: Activating Mylar filter on Package Explorer view should disable
other filters.

Could you propose the interaction sequence for this on the first report
linked above and detail your use case? It is feasible that we support both
modes. Note that my worry is that allowing multiple unfiltered nodes will
be confusing since the tree won't reliably show only what's in the context.
Currently Alt+Click feels modal (similar to Ctrl+O). But I do realize that
the ability to unfilter multiple nodes will prevent some of the times that
we need to turn the Apply Mylar filter off. Wang has a couple additional
reports open this:
131233: Can't folder a project when ALT is pressed

135839: Can't expand a folder when ALT is press
