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](https://community.fibery.io/t/how-to-get-create-a-list-of-all-files-from-database/3406) 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… 🤔
