Create Objects (e.g. reports, regions) that can be shared across pages

Idea Summary
Allow objects e.g. reports - or even regions, to be used on multiple pages.  This would also for significant productivity through re-use of objects.

Use Case
Any application that re-uses components of a page.  For example, a summary report which is used on multiples pages (e.g. 10 Invoices Overdue, 10 Invoices Due for Payment in next 30 days).  This object could be used on multiple pages.  It could even be something as simpled as a “Save” button, that is re-used on many pages and has a consistent look and feel - change once, ripple through the application.

Preferred Solution (Optional)
May need lots of plumning changes.  Maybe it could be a case of creating a special type of page which only houses shared objects.  You then add these through a “shared object” control - picking from the list.  Sounds very easy doesn't it!

This request is likely a duplicate of FR-1733.

    Creating reusable Global Page components has been available for 15+ years.

    Yes and I use this, but this is a different use case. Eg. A button such as “save” can be used multiple times and then updated once, or a report that is used in different regions and again, updated once.

    If I have understood the proposal (and I'm not sure that I have) then this appears to be a duplicate of FR-1733.
