If any progress is to be done along these lines, I'd think that simpler would be better and then incrementally improving.
Of course, hoisting was implemented to near perfection right out the gate, so maybe that's Kinook's specialty - perfection out the gate.
For me, all I want (for now) is a doorway established as a single operation. I create a door from one item to another. The destination item shows the same doorway to go to it's paired item.
The old DOS program IZE did this. They'd show you little triangle, like this: ▲
The up triangle meant that this item is where you created the door. The destination item had this triangle. ▼
So you could click the triangles and go back and forth between the items.
Now, I'd prefer to have meaningful text links instead of triangles. and I'd like them in their own pane instead of in an item detail pane.
A doorway ... a doorway... my kingdom (consisting of 25 cents and a hamster) for a doorway!
