Well, you don't need to. It's not even limiting not doing it. That's why I was saying it's not bad (though not perfect). You can select something of interest and expand in depth from there incrementally, or select just a couple items and lay out the path between them, and then the surrounding path segments, in just a few clicks.
It's honestly quite good, and I've converted a few old school people to working this way in the last year or so and once they get used to it none of them goes back to something else. It seriously lacks things such as compounds, and bookmarks need improvements, and from an assettization point of view Houdini absolutely stomps all over it, but for rigging it's quite functional.
