Sort by similarity using different labeled item

[dlangenk]

Imagine you have the situation of having automatically or manually annotated a general coarse category like fish. In a second step you would like to use largo and similarity search to do the fine grained relabeling to butterfly fish, clownfish,.... Now you have a new volume with coarse fish annotations. You could now use the already fine grained labeled objects and similarity search to find e.g. butterfly fish in the new coarse annotations. However, since they are in different label categories you cannot use similarity search.

We could make it possible to pin items until they are manually unpinned and keep them pinned even when changing labels.

You mean in the project Largo where a new volume might be added? That could be useful. I'll try to boil this down:

Change the behavior of similarity sorting so the pinned annotation remains pinned even if it's label is not the same than the currently selected label. This would make similarity sorting more similar to the other sorting options again because the sorting no longer has to be reset when a new label is selected.

Mostly for the project Largo, but might also be useful for the volume Largo, but this is not as easily motivated, so I chose the project Largo use case.
