I think file-based NeXTlinks will work sort of this way in 3.0, as least  
from what I remember at NeXTworld Expo. Documents will follow the .rtfd  
standard, where each 'file' is actually a directory wrapper for its  
contents, which may include images (in the case of .rtfd) and links  
(NXSelection objects). So I guess you could use this as a sort-of post-it,  
although it would appear somewhere within the body of the document in both  
places (source and destination).
