You can right-click on any Task icon 
in the Library View to bring up a sub-menu,
then select Open via variability elements.
A new window will appear which shows the hierarchy of content packages
with variability elements related to the selected element.
For each element you can see an icon indicating the element's type, its name, and its variability associations
(shown in parentheses).
You can expand all or collapse all associations
by using the 
and 
buttons
above the tree browser.
You can either click once and then choose OK or else double-click on any element to bring up the appropriate editor for that type of element.

In the example shown above the type of variability association for the "define_architecture_ucm" role is "contributes".
