Viewing Span Events in ZincObserve
TLDR Benjamin wants to view span events in ZincObserve more ergonomically. Prabhat suggests adding a function to view all spans for a trace and asks Benjamin to create an issue for it.

Mon, 29 May 2023 14:33:32 UTCHello again- I’m going through OpenTelemetry + ZincObserve tutorials and I added a span event to :
```func GetUserDetails(ctx context.Context) string {
_, span := tracer.Start(ctx, "GetUserDetails")
defer span.End()
span.AddEvent("log", trace.WithAttributes(
attribute.String("user", "bbkane"),
))
return "Hello User Details from Go microservice"
}```
This span event shows up in the `events` view, but not when clicking into a the details of specific event - that just shows the timeline.
Is there a good way to view span events in an ergonomic way in ZincObserve? My end goal is to replace logging + tracing with just tracing + span events
