To capture data about an object, currently I have to create another page in LucidChart, and a link on the object to the page, then a link back to the page(s) where the object is located.  

In Visio, I used to be able to create a form to enter the object’s data (e.g., description, owner, etc.) and when I clicked on the object, the form would appear on the side or bottom of the screen.

I would like to see this type of feature - being able to define a data form for different types of objects, and a link on the object which, when the object is selected, there is a menu option to see the form and data. When selected the form would pop-up and, depending on the user’s privileges on the document, data added, modified or only viewed.

It would be also really nice if there was a list of all objects available so that when I want to re-use an object, I can select it, rather than trying to remember the object name,  find the page it is on, going to the page and making a copy.
