I proposed an experiment that could provide measurable evidence and help settle the debate objectively. However, that proposal is also being disregarded,

I know I said I would not respond further but I will respond to this.

I have repeatedly said there are cases where this feature makes sense. I prepared a flow & posted it and I am still waiting for someone to show it can be done using existing wire methods and no context hopping.

Note again for clarity, I have solved this already (running on Node-RED v4 without node.linkcall) but it is a drag, its brittle, opaque, hard to follow & is my own implementation - so I am genuinely interested to see how others would approach this in a visual/wired way.

@Steve-Mcl

I think you are missing one important aspect of this.

The demo flow i supplied works with the node.linkcall (the /ai1 flow) - it does not work with visual flows (the /ai2 flow is an an outline only)

The brittle part is how I solved /ai2 flow.

@Steve-Mcl

just like in the demo flow I posted that no-one has offered a simple non context hopping wired solution for
