You are misunderstanding what I am saying. I simply want to be able to
save abstractions in the same file as the main patch if i want to, in the
same way that I can do that with procedures and classes in any programming
language.

What i want is: if I have an abstraction that is saved in the same file as
my patch, then right-click open on any instance will get me to that
abstraction, the same one; there would be only one diagram for all
instances.
