The Bigger Picture

[Augi]

There is a common idiom "the big picture," which according to Merriam-Webster means "the entire perspective on a situation or issue." Is there a single word that encompasses this idea? Or more specifically, is there a word that means "a part of the bigger picture"?

Thanks for your help, and I'm sorry if this is in the wrong section.

If it is OK for metaphors;

a part of the bigger picture;a tree
the big picture:the forest

Not really, which is why the phrase is so commonly used.
