Enable calving multiple attachments into individual children
Before Brain, I maintained ideas as Outlook tasks, each of which could listed within multiple categories. Presently there's no good import. I can, however, drag an entire category of tasks into a Thought that matches the Outlook category name. The tasks then become attachments with active links. Not bad!
Now I should be able to right click somewhere to turn each such attachment into a child of the Thought that contains it. So it has its own identity and links within Brain's hierarchy.
And if the attachment is associated with another Thought, Brain should offer to multi-parent as well as to ignore.
Ideally, a true import will match name to name and notes to notes. But in the meantime, this would be some generic behavior that works irrespective of attachment type.

Ah, you're right. Excellent, I didn't see that. Withdrawing my votes. Thanks

if you drag an entire category of tasks into a parent thought and they become attachments with active links the you should be able to open the P&A pane, select all the attachments(links) and drag them out under the active thought and thus create the individual children. The part about those thoughts having other links to other thoughts might be a good feature
