Can we solve that with a general "Inbox"? It seems like this would only be relevant for items not made by the user (as any documents made by the user would be created within the context of the Project, and thus would have all that Project's metadata associated with it). Also, could we auto-tag those items with metadata like: - who sent it - the day it was received - the object/file name (if it has one) - any subject or body copy around the attachment Would that solve the situation, so that all items can have a tag, and thus exist in the object space? Additionally, if we use the idea of an Inbox, it could just be a view on the object manager with the filter criteria "Received today" and "Created by another person".
