--- Comment #1 from V Stuart Foote <vstuart.foote@utsa.edu> ---
@Yves, in fact OASIS ODF already provides for this with the .ODM "Master
Document" where various ODF documents are combined by reference, using shared
templates for styling the full document.

Unfortunately the LibreOffice UI and UX for working with Master Documents is a
bit cumbersome. The <F5> Navigator dialog takes on a different persona when
working with outline elements of a Master Document, but only Text templates
.OTT are currently supported.

Presently, LibreOffice (OO and AOO as well) provide ODM support just for .ODT
documents with content linked/copied in from respective .ODG, .ODS, .ODF (I'm
not sure about use of .ODP content).

Seems like the Master Document UX could be expanded to work with more of/all of
the native ODF documents and additional template styles, rather than just
linked/copied elements. Also, as you suggest--we would need changes to the UI
to add functions more robust than currently provided with the Navigator for
efficiently working with the sections of a Master Document.

Go ahead and try out use of an ODF Master Document. But would agree there is
potential for enhancing this facet of the LibreOffice UI, so setting ux-advise.
