I also like to run plugins on parts, so I guess it's extract time
Mine work with linked parts. I'm fairly sure the latest TGTools does
too, provided you use the TGTools menu or the TGTools hot keys.
Is it just me, or is linked parts an (at best) incomplete feature,
That puts it very succinctly. It is AT BEST an incomplete feature, but
that "best" is pretty darn good. I highly recommend using a single
document for parts rather than extracting each part into its own
document. You won't have to fight the measure numbers in linked parts
if you don't care about the score view. There are just dozens of ways
that having a single parts document is superior to individual docs,
while the only negative I can think of is that you have to switch to
score view to apply MM-supplied plugins. Fortunately there a some good
hotkeys for that.

The problem with your scenario, though, is that usually we
need to work on score AND parts at the same time. There is
no such thing in the projects I do as "don't care about the
score view." I need to get the score to look right AND the
parts to look right, and to be able to print them.
Yes, there are dozens of ways that having linked parts is
superior to separate parts files, but the hugely negative
aspect of measure numbers really makes it not such a great
advantage.
