Feel relevant for this discussion:
Curio is implementing something similar in beta they are calling “Synced Figure Instances”: https://www.zengobi.com/curio/releasenotes/?v=22
I don’t use since it’s Mac only, but feels like it’d be useful for reference/research/inspo given it’s another visual note taking app.
