I've got a 'system' that displays a series of context-specific add-on modules (support tools, prefabricated forms and the like). At the moment these (custom objects) are stored on separate cards in a series of external stacks and I load the stacks and copy and paste the objects into the main stack window as required. Seems like it might be a bit simpler if I can suck an object straight out of a networked database onto the clipboard and paste it when and where I want it. Easier to update/maintain and less hassle than loading stacks, making sure the right stack has focus and fiddling with object names and ids and the like. There are undoubtedly some interesting implications for RevMobile!
