In tmux, is it possible to list all panes in all windows?

Say, I got two windows, Window 1 contains 2 pane (1, 2), Window 2 contains 3 panes(1,2,3), and I'm in pane 1 in Window 1, and I want to jump directly into the pane 2 in Window 2, PREFIX w which is choose-window will list all the windows in the session so I can jump into the right window, but it will not list the panes, PREFIX q which is display-panes will let me choose the right pane only in the current window, but not across windows.

So I wonder if there is any command that let me choose panes across windows. The best solution is choose-window or a new command will not only list all the windows but also list all the panes inside each window like tree in a directory.

This problems is solved by commit aad4e4d on github page several months ago, use choose-tree (just bind it to a key) to show all panes in all sessions/widows/tabs, it even shows a preview box when you scroll line into one pane from the list, very nice.

Just compile and install tmux from github source code and you can use this feature.
