Hi all,
First and foremost, I love the software, so thank you for all of your development and support!
That said, we have a small issue that we're trying to find a way around. Right now, we have a shelf setup for clients, and for in-house locations. Inside the shelves, we have individual books for each client name, and individual books for each of our in-house names. What we would like to do, is have an easy way to reference the same chapters (with nested pages) in multiple books, similarly to the way you can reference page content in multiple locations.
The reason for this, is that we're trying to make everything stupid-proof, so you can find the information in each location that the information pertains to (e.g. the same instructions can apply to multiple clients). I can do that manually with each individual page right now, but with the amount of pages we have for things like instructions, it would take a very long time to create all the reference pages, and it would clutter up the search with a lot of unnecessary results.
Any help would be appreciated! I don't mind poking around with code either, so if there's something I can do to help, let me know.

Thanks for the request @JaredC01 in addition to your positive feedback.
Closely related to #182.
From a technical perspective, this would require a fair amount of development effort and has potential to introduce a good amount of complexity, both in code and in user experience, so I'd be hesitant to move forward on this although I can understand your use case, therefore I'll leave this open for discussion.
