Another dimension for notes

[JAG]

I am just getting started with OneNote and maybe my recommendation is out of
place.

Notes currently have two dimensions:
A note belongs to a single page/section.
A note could have multiple note flags.

It would be nice if a note could belong to multiple Pages/Sections/Folders
concurrently. If it were to change in one place, all different views would
show the change.

For example, I might go to a staff meeting in which a whole bunch of things
might be discussed. I would already have a structure for my projects and I'd
have a structure for the multi-theme staff meetings. It would be nice if I
could relate notes discussed within the meeting to another related
section(s). This would avoid retyping, avoid mistakes, and automate some
steps.
So, if I wrote a note within a "Staff Meeting" page and associate it to
"Projects/Project X", if I were to open the "Projects/Project X" notes, I
would find whatever was discussed/requested at the Staff Meeting already
there. I'd do it in a similar fashion as the note flags, possibly with a
tree moving through section/folder/page.

Something like tags perhaps

This isn't really possible in Onenote currently... there is some limited
implementation with the noteflag search however.
Evernote implements this idea exactly I think you will find. Evernote has
categories (like tags). When you tag the "staff meeting" note with "Project
x" , the same note also appears in the "project x" folder
