Sorry, but I don't get the real question in this mail.

If you are proposing a new feature, I recommend describing it in a wiki
page here: https://github.com/jaap-karssenberg/zim-wiki/wiki and ask for
comments on the mailing list.

Please start by explaining the use case ("what does it do / look like")
before starting on implementation discussion.

Thanks,

Jaap
