Views are a little confusing right now

Smart folder context views are embeddable in docs/rich text, no?

What do you mean by

?

Do you mean a view embedded in an entity’s rich text field?

I note that the cons for #3 included that they can’t be mirrored, but the cons for #4 includes that they are always mirrored. Doesn’t that mean, at least for this problem (of mirroring) there is a solution with one or the other? - if you want a mirrored view, use a relation view; if you don’t want a mirrored view, create a rich-text embedded view.

I agree that they also have other weaknesses (like relation views require a relation field, and rich-text embedded views require a rich text container, which might otherwise not be necessary).

It feels like the solution is what is discussed here, no?
