Content Related Workflows Part

[jeffolmstead]

Please consider this a dream, possibly infeasible, but it would be amazing if I were looking at a content item and had a section right beside it called "Workflows Related to this Item". I realize that is a complicated task as workflows are so robust but, for example, there are some workflow components that reference by content type so those could be exposed. That would actually give a fair amount of insight with just that one example.

This would provide a ton of convenience and really make Workflows a core "hub" of the content system as you could quickly drill in.

@bleroy added some of these other thoughts which are valuable in expanding this discussion:

One of the ways Orchard could be improved in my opinion is in connecting various components that are logically related, but that are all over the place in Orchard. In other words, implementation details are a little too visible. I wish you could, as you're suggesting, integrate workflows with items, but more generally, have admin tasks built on top of Orchard that enable the implementation by the integrator of business processes in a way that makes sense to the end user, without them having to learn what a part is, or a workflow, or media, and so on.

Let the creativity commence!
