Books should be treated as containers to allow placing spells, formulas and items (becoming knowledge of that item)

Books should be treated as containers to allow placing spells, formulas and items (becoming knowledge of that item). Would be nice if a book item type can be converted or be container by default allowing items to be put in it. Spells put in it can be pulled out as items (scrolls) in inventory, and into spell lists. Items are considered Formula (maybe formula can be added to their name) and have no bulk.
Has there been any decision on this? I think this is a big missing feature of this module and would make GM life so much easier !
We already have an implementation like this in the system with the way spells and formulas are handles and links can already be dropped in. This ticket was opened before any of those things existed. Otherwise this is an exceptionally low priority and likely won’t be addressed until we cover a lot of other more integral things, like being able to drop runes on weapons. Unless you plan on coding it personally it will likely be a long time, if ever, for this to change.
Hi, thanks for the follow up. What do you mean by “links can be dropped in”? Is there documentation or examples of this somewhere? This sounds interesting.
When editing the description of an item, you can drag a spell from the compendium into the description. This creates a link as shown in this image. In this case, using a little HTML, I made collapsible entries for one of my player's spellbook. Since these are compendium links, they an be dragged to the actor's inventory, which creates wands / scrolls just as if you had dragged them from the compendium directly.
Oh perfect! Thank you!

What HTML did you use for the collapsible stuff? (While im a backend dev by trade, my frontend skills are a tad lacking :P)
Not strictly HTML since it's a built-in function actually.
