I'm not sure how this could be implemented. If you had (say) 1200 shots in a single timeline, and 40 nodes per shot, that's 48,000 individual nodes that the Smart Filter would have to keep track of. I don't know of another way than just bopping through manually.

If you could group the shots first through something in common (all Interiors or all Close-Ups or all Office Shots), then you could use Metadata to at least narrow down the list and not have to go through many hundreds of shots.

I have had cases where I forgot to drop a subtle correction on one specific node, so there have been occasions where I wish I could say, "show me every shot on the timeline where Node #19 is empty." But I grasped how complex that would be to implement, and just accepted I had to do it by hand. You'd be surprised how fast you can go through 1200 shots when you're facing a rigid deadline.

Seems easy enough to me as you can already search for a specific OFX!

I don't have to code it, but the BMD folks can certainly figure it out!
