Let’s say you’re in a workspace, listening to a podcast episode. Maybe you opened the podcast episode from a webpage you had open. As the episode plays, you realize that you would like to take some related notes. You open a new pane within your workspace, and take your notes. You can pause and play the podcast in the pane on the left, and you can take your notes in the pane on the right.
This has me thinking about some sort of parametric workspace/view. Where you could "pull out" the podcast episode and have a generic podcast listening/note view which would change which note you were looking at based on which podcast you were listening to.

This is interesting context. I wonder if that need has gone away with large screens or if we're not using it the way it was originally intended. My intuition is that auto-layout is generally better but for smaller pieces of data ad hoc overlaps seem fine.
