Unfortunately, this is not available at present.

If you use the new work item tracking with Visual Studio 2017 and above, you may have noticed that work items now open in a browser window by default.

To ensure compatibility with the new process customization capabilities, new controls and the new Work item form options, just you keep Visual Studio open work items in the browser.

So we encourage users to track work items in web portal. Work items in Visual Studio is used to do some simply track. There is no structure to how the work items are listed. Your requirement could not be achieved now. Sorry for any inconvenience.

The My Work panel in Visual Studio does not support any hierarchy view. It is a small and simple section with the brief work items description. Just try to imagine a query result with 10 child levels in that window ))

You have to use the Work Items panel and the Queries section.
