[REQUEST] Display or Query Extrinsic Index for Events in Polkadot.js Web App #11900

@chideraao

Description

@chideraao

While working with pure proxy extrinsics, I needed to retrieve the extrinsic index associated with the proxy.PureCreated.
Currently, the Polkadot.js web app allows users to view the block details under NetworkExplorer, and the events within that block are shown. However, as far as I know, there isn’t a direct way to view or query the extrinsic index associated with a given event, aside from manually counting the extrinsics — which can be tedious and error-prone, especially for blocks with many entries.

I’ve attached a screenshot showing a block’s extrinsic events, along with what I assume is a chain state query for the block’s extrinsics (substrate.extrinsicIndex).

Expected Behavior

It would be helpful if the Explorer view (or a related API query) allowed users to:

  • See the extrinsic_index for each event directly in the UI
  • Or, alternatively, query the extrinsic index from the chainstate UI
