Hey Emmanuel
Some interesting ideas
Must admit (1) was already something I'd thought of, unfortunately with the
current architecture it's notactually that simple to do
If you open some feature request[s] at 
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/dia/-/issues/new I can't promisethey'll ever
happen but at least it won't be lost & forgotten in mailing list archives
