Interesting, when you say “Area” are you wanting this to be a part of the Entity UI/layout? Or a separate View, i.e. “extracting” references from 1 or more Entities and presenting them in a more dedicated view like the new Threads View, or this interesting recently contemplated idea: How to get/create a list of all files from database I mentioned in my reply to that thread that I could imagine similar dedicated Views that can usefully display referenced objects/info from “collections” of entities (that match some criteria). The Files use case discussed there is easier to envision, it’s probably ideally a simple folder-sub-folder view that navigates like a normal desktop file explorer (at least in one mode). A dedicated References View is an interesting thing to think about though…
Edit: it’s also important to think about how the work on the new Highlights feature(s) might interact with this, if at all…
Contemplating some of the ways in which I work, there are times in which I would actually very much want a View that showed all References, fully expanded (perhaps optionally collapsible) with all sub-bullet content (which connects with another of your feature requests @B_Sp ), as a single, scrollable, continuous feed…
