That sounds like Solidworks to me

Solidworks has it. Autodesk has a similar solution.

Packing everything together is the right approach. Linking is an optimisation that you probably do not need and it magnifies the complexity.
There is still a lot of work to do. If it is possible to open source your editor(s) could these be created by forking existing open source projects and modifying them?
Good luck on this project, it sounds fun.

yeah.. I was heading toward approach 3... packing most things by defaults
and, in the case of maps, including an image and a "custom link"
and having a resource list viewer where one can, if one wants, explicitly change the behavior (from embedded to link) and explicitly define the link (hence the user would be aware of dependency, since he created it explicitly)

I'd advise you to avoid XML "solutions", because they increase the required man-hours exponentially, with no measurable gain.
A few alternatives:
-- If you do it in HTML, you can open the page in a browser and "save as mht", which packages the whole page and its local resources into a single archive that reopens the page in a browser when double-clicked. This has the added advantage that you can (but don't have to) use resources on the Internet, which will be retrieved by the browser when the page is opened (so changes and updates are handled painlessly).
-- Single-sourcing (which is the name of the system you want) in MS Word works with scripts that use IncludeText statements, and is easy enough to implement (there should be plenty of information and examples on the web; if not, just ask).
-- If you've got money to burn, get FrameMaker or MadCap Flare.

Yes!
The Italian squirrel do so while snacking on Nutella, and the American ones do so while snacking on beer nuts.

My dear Griffington,
What kind of Nutflix would you expect, in the Soapbox?

Oh sure. Owls like who-lu, tropical animals prefer Amazon, and the insects still stick with the classic antennae.

And cows prefer K-bull while sheep prefer ewe-tube?

OK, it was an obscure word:
Stereotypically mouldy
float F
goes far LONG
FLONG[^]
Quote: In relief printing, a flong is a temporary negative mould made of a forme of set type, in order to cast a metal stereotype (or "stereo") which can be used in a rotary press, or in letterpress printing after the type has been broken down for re-use.
I'm up tomorrow and I'll try to make it a simpler word ... but I liked this one! I guess my mother being a printer helped.

Well done, it's was good to have an unsolvable one... exercises the brain for a change!
Your spelling of "mouldy" did have me down the mould path (hence cast/pitch), and I also was working with "long" for a while too. I even figured "float" for "f" at one point... however, just never managed to put all the pieces together at the same time. Probably doesn't help I didn't know the word in the first place.
And "Stereotypically" really through me off on this one.

A very quick google would have given you the definition I quoted!
(I tend to google before I post, given that my spelling is abysmal)

I was thinking 'pond scum' but then I thought - "Why would Griff be so self-referential!" That CCC is just downright mean.
But on the plus side at least the CCC wasn't solved by the time I got on line this morning (I was early and it went long - so I would finally get a chance to solve one of these... Nope - I got nothin!)

Well you have to admit that the CCC was pretty nasty. I mean you went way out there for that one.
(Does that make it far-flong?)
