Hi everyone,
I propose a total of two new features, which I describe using one example of an interconnected system in Anytype.
Each proposed feature has its own post:
- Create/Duplicate Query or something else as (Parent) - Child
You are here.
- Automatically add an object to a filter or anywhere else based on Parent-Child or other Anytype relationships.

WHAT DO YOU RECOMMEND?
The ability to create or duplicate objects that are interconnected.
HOW COULD IT BE DONE?
By adding a link that establishes superiority and subordination.
REAL WORLD USE CASES
I have created a diagram showing the synchronization between Queries. Thanks to this, you only need to create a Parent Query once, which has views and other query properties set up that are synchronized when the Parent Query is modified.
In the example, the Query Items have created Views with Priority Filters, which I want to use for several other Queries with items. At the same time, I need a different filter within Areas for the other Queries.
RECOMMENDED ALTERNATIVES
I think that the two new features I am proposing could be alternatives to each other, depending on how they are developed.
At the same time, however, I think that in the future they could be two different features that will serve for interconnection, synchronization, or inheritance.
ADDITIONAL CONTEXT
Of course, I could do it all manually, but that would be inefficient. And after modifying one fragment of the entire system five times, I would probably get bored and simply not integrate some things into Anytype - which is what happened…
