True; but one did.

The idea comes from time to time, but it would not be possible to cover every
user need with such an application; one would definitely want to have an
AutoCAD "sheet" as yet another tab, then Adobe Photoshop file, etc. MS hoped to
use its OLE technology as something that was expected to appear on every
application on Windows, so potentially allowing to have just anything inside a
Binder document; and they failed. For LibreOffice, this would be a failure
before we started.

And the proper way exists: use file system directories to manage different
types of documents, without restrictions.

WF IMO.
