I think he used wrong terminology. Where he said snippets I think he meant topics or articles.

Meh. If I am unsure if I want something to be imported into my Realm, I import it into its own realm first. After looking it over, I can always re-import into my realm. As kbs666 points out, once in your realm, you can easily filter by tags.
I just don't see much value in putting the import in a container. RW Project: Dungeons & Dragons 5th edition homebrew world Other Tools: CampaignCartographer, Cityographer, Dungeonographer, Evernote |

As someone has hinted, there is apparently something in beta that is supposed to help import concerns. Until we know what that is, it probably isn't worth getting too worked up over. Voicing thoughts might affect the development though....

I am talking about having a *topic* in one location that can have a shadow in more than one location. It's not quite the same - instead of typing a new snippet - I'm asking if there is a way to create a link to a topic - it can even look different - so the topic can show up in more than one place - note again I'm not asking for a copy - just a way to have a topic under more than one container so to speak. I can envision a player group creating an area for them - and let them manage their own notes - so that they can drag and drop topics they find interesting and create their own 'view' - which I think would be more visceral and intuitive than linking via text name. |

I'm not sure that's accurate, as he wants the same names, potentially, to appear in multiple places.... like shortcut links appear in file folders in the Windows OS.

A very simple way this is useful is to enable your 'cult leader' to be located in town and in the dungeon. For the sake of programmer sanity - these would be non searchable links that just are references back to the object - they don't need to show up in a 'link' or callback like the auto references do now - just a handy way to have more than one way to make a topic list. Another use would be to have a list of every Inn in a region - even though the Inn topics are located under the locations they inhabit. I really could come up with endless reasons why it would be useful. |

This was recommended long ago and I still support it. +1
If I recall, my example then was file systems for scanning and archiving documents in the office allow for multiple tags. A meeting can thus be tagged by date, participants, topics, location, projects, etc. And then people looking in any of those locations would find it. In RW, being able to identify multiple mirror containers would provide the same result. |
