Yes. I guess sub-items would work too. And it would be nice to have the
option to collapse the list.

Also agreed.
3 - Show only main types but do the query by adding all the alias types
to the query formula. This would guarantee that all identified files
(even the one with alias types) would be picked up but would also make
the query a bit slower.
Here, I would absolutely prefer option 3.
Yep. I also think this is the best.
