disregarding your ideas about this would be made to work, I think
this is vaguely the kind of thing that could be made with TT2’s
Views feature. I don’t know if I’m actually on track at all,
honestly, but your description set off my neuronal associations
to Views. So I suggest you look at that and see if that can be
made to do what you want to do in a more TT2-ish way than what
you were thinking of.
