No, there's no way to do that.

Yes, that could be useful, but it would be much nicer if it would work 
as follows:

(1) Accept a --kind parameter that allows you to say what kind of 
extensions you want displayed (tests, suites, resources, etc.).  If no 
--kind parameter is displayed, show everything.

(2) Accept a series of optional arguments (e.g, "test1 
suite1.subsuite2") and show information only for those entities.  In 
other words, operate like "ls -R" with no arguments, and like "ls -R foo 
bar" for arguments "foo" and "bar".

You could call the new command "qmtest list".
