Have you spent any time playing with tiddlyspace?

The restrictions on the degree to which this is possible there seem to
be mostly because they haven't figured out good ways to build the UI.
The underlying mechanism of 'everything is a tiddler' and permits
behavior similar to what you describe.  Anyway it might be worth playing

Please tease out the difference between what you think I mean and what
you mean, because I don't understand how "I don't think it is" is a
reasonable way to end that paragraph.
