Inline Pointers allow much more compact layout; we're doing it by hand repeatedly already via CSS and it's a headache.
Not sure if this makes sense as the same view or a different one, but while Wagneering our Notes i saw that i couldn't get the 'columns' to line up like a spreadsheet because the names of the cards varied. So now i want a one-line view for Basic/PlainText/Phrase that's similar to closed, but has no name, and probably doesn't need to even be openable.
