ZFP display all found study with a specific study instance uid (suid)

No description provided
Description

The fact that ZFP will only display the first found study with a specific study instance uid (suid) is the issue. If this is by design and not a bug it needs to be re-designed. Consider this situation for example:

Hospital A stores a study into EA and an archive named EA1, then a radiologist in hospital B is consulted on this study and queries EA1 to get the study into their reconstruction workstation where the doctor in hospital B creates more reconstruction serieses on the study, makes some measurements and ultimately stores the complete study into hospital Bs EA archive named EA2. Now there is a split situation in EA with half the study in EA1 and the complete study in EA2. If a user of ZFP queries for this study it is up to their luck of the day whether or not they get the full study. A real patient risk; especially as ZFP won't even tell you that there are more objects available for this study in different archives.

ZFP is presented as an enterprise viewer for multiple backends and there is the full XE-mechanism delivering source matches. Of course it need to be able to tell the user if there are more objects available that displayed. Even better if it could display all objects no matter their source if the user choose to do so.
