Prefabs: added collection reference is not shown to user in any way #15916

Description

If we select "Add Collection Reference", GM is not indicating it in any way.
You can theoretically filter used ones by Filter->Used collections.
However, we have "Prefabs" in asset tree which are showing refabs that are "customized", so in my opinio it also should show there, or in another way (good example is #15188).
Also without any reference to exported variables, macros and functions, it's hard to notice that something was referenced (#15188).

Steps To Reproduce

  1. Select "Add Collection Reference" on any prefab
  2. Nothing happens, user don't know if they can use something from prefab now or not, especially if prefabs shows 0 visible things, but exports functions.

Example: what is "added to colection"? I have no idea.

But it could be shown here:

Also with "Used collections filter" Prefab is not shown on left in tree:
