I would like be able to export a component like a Perspective View and select an option that will also export any dependencies as well like embedded views & scripts.

Ooh boy that’d be hard. Including project scripts you reference? What about tags?

It’s a good idea, though… just tricky.

Nah not tags, 99.999999% of time tags wouldn’t be useful to include, but yes to script libraries I think. The most important though would just be other views

It would also be kind of cool if you could set something up to generate a dependency diagram of a window/view.
