And I've been thinking about the following solution: you draw both
parent and child on the same wireframe, but in different layers, and
then draw their notes, in another two layers. Then you switch the
notes layers parent/child. In this way you can show both parent with
preview of the child and the child in context of its parent. Do you
think it's practicable to do so?

parent and child on the same wireframe, but in different layers, and
then draw their notes, in another two layers. Then you switch the
notes layers parent/child. In this way you can show both parent with
