But this can already be done with Branches: * Put your ideas in branch insets, so they are boxed. * Copy and past them around. * Use LyX' cross-referencing mechanism for linking. * Toggle inclusion of the content in the output. * Move text parts to the main document with copy/kill/paste or just dissolve the box. I agree that the interface could be made more user-friendly. * The need to set up branches under Document>Settings>Branches before using them under Insert>Branches might be part of the reason they are still widely unknown to the public. * To get the "corkboard" feeling, it would be nice to be able to drag-and-drop the inset boxes around.
