I'll be honest, I haven't looked into this in real detail in OO3Pro. It was not possible to get this to work the way I wanted in OO2. I think I may have
posted about this in the distant past.
You might well be right that something which provides the necessary output
(e.g. for print or web or repurposing for presentations) can be achieved
this way in OO3 Pro if the XSL can include the text of a popup.
It would be less than ideal way of working inside OO though, since what I would like, but neglected to mention specifically, would be for a hierarchical view of these "elements" to replace either the sections or the styles list in the drawer.
Still, you have a point that will have me re-examining whether I can manage having this information in a column. Thanks.

Oh indeed. This is nice stuff.
