Handouts as folders in journal view

I suggest that the handout entry could be placed as a folder in the journal view in the app. Then, it could be used as a description for an entire group of handouts or characters. A click on the +/- sign would collapse the list, and in the name would open the handout. Why this? Sometimes is usefull to write some description to the folder type. For example, in a folder with all the dragons tokens, the general dragon text could be in the handout that behave like a a folder.
This is already sort of possible using linking. Create the handouts you desire. In your master handout, type something like [Test Handout] (assuming you have a handout named Test Handout). It will then open the desired handout when the link is clicked. Only real drawback is you can't life re-order it, you have to go in and manually move/change the text.
Yes. But other drawback is have two lines (handout  +  folder) instead of one (handout as a folder) in the journal tab. Would be better if the handout could be expanded, like a folder.

Hum that works well for handouts.. for characters you have to unarchive them to drag them... but I suppose there are ways with the API
