Summary	0002389: Objects anchored to a text frame
Description	It would be wonderful to not only be able to use inline objects, but also to anchor objects outside a text frame to a certain position in the text itself. One example is marginal notes, which are often used in high quality art or history books. Anchoring a frame with a marginal note inside to the relevant text in another frame would make editing this kind of demanding and complex documents much easier.
Additional Information	Introduced with InDesign CS 2 for those who have acces to it and want to see how it works. Related to 0001099

Patch

~~ringerc~~ 2005-08-06 06:15 reporter ~0005912	I thought this was already in bugs somewhere, but can't seem to find it. Agreed that it'd be potentially rather useful, though I suspect it'd be a feature that'd have a lot of variations in how it was used and need the potential for a fair bit of control (making it complex to implement).

christoph_s 2005-08-06 18:45 developer ~0005918	Will the final implementation of inline objects allow to group those objects with items outside the frame? This could serve as a workaround.

Kunda 2014-09-12 19:09 updater ~0033652	This feature is describing the implemented 'Weld' feature. Therefore closing this issue.

Kunda 2014-09-12 19:33 updater ~0033655	Reopening because I misunderstood the feature request. Per christoph_s: "An 'anchor' is an invisible "character" in a text, and it's possible to connect an object to this anchor. Very iseful for, e.g., marginal notes: if the text moves the anchored item moves with the text"
