GitHub user yangzhang75 added a comment to the discussion: Discuss workflow 
macro design and lifecycle

Hi, I was suggested to fold my recent proposal (#6066, now closed) into this 
discussion.

I've been prototyping something adjacent to macros:  a "Blocks" gallery for 
saving and reusing workflow pieces across workflows. Reading through this 
thread, my design is different in direction (drop-in reuse vs. in-place 
collapsing). But a few pieces from the prototype might be useful for the macros 
work:

- Built-in Sample macros (a small read-only starter set in the panel, for 
onboarding)
- Mini-map preview of each macro (SVG rendering with real operator icons)
- Snip-region save (box-select a sub-region of the canvas, save only that part 
as a macro instead of the whole workflow)
- Apply-to-canvas logic (fresh UUIDs, remap links, place on empty area)

Demo of the prototype:

Would any of these be useful to fold into the macros direction? Thank you!
