But this can already be done with Branches:
* Put your ideas in branch insets, so they are boxed.
* Copy and past them around.
* Use LyX' cross-referencing mechanism for linking.
* Toggle inclusion of the content in the output.
* Move text parts to the main document with copy/kill/paste
or just dissolve the box.
I agree that the interface could be made more user-friendly.
* The need to set up branches under Document>Settings>Branches before
using them under Insert>Branches might be part of the reason they are
still widely unknown to the public.
* To get the "corkboard" feeling, it would be nice to be able to
drag-and-drop the inset boxes around.
