Identify building assets in-game

Solution 1:

Regrettably, not really. Unique building assets will usually retain their name making them easier to search for and disable. However buildings that are generated for your R/C/I zones tend to have randomized names that do not reflect anything searchable in the assets list.

I have not been able to find any Workshop mod that would allow you to see the asset name when viewing a building. There is one called Improved Assets Panel which reconfigures that menu to reduce wasted space and view more assets at once, and allows you to filter assets based on their type (residential / commercial / industrial / prop / vehicle / etc). It isn't quite as convenient as directly searching for the specific asset name, but being able to filter by the asset's type (which you can see when it is selected in-game) will drastically improve the efficiency of finding the asset you are looking for.
