Is your Feature Request related to a Problem or Annoyance?

I'm always frustrated when making changes to a template and then having to manually update all the pages throughout the vault that use the template. It takes a lot of time. I'm aware that there are ways of replacing text and/or using regular expressions, but that is still time consuming and somewhat difficult.

That is the reason that started trying to use/test metabind embeds, but since any text/markdown/callouts are static on the page with the embed then that feture is not very useful.

Describe the Feature you'd like

I would like to be able to have editable text/markdown/callouts on the page that contains the embed.

For example if I have a template for a city that includes a callout for an overview of the city and the text of the callout has prompt of what to write as overview, it is not possible to edit the text (delete the prompt) and write the actual overview.

Having a way to add/edit text/markdown inside of an embed without editing the template, would make these embeds extremely powerful and we would never need to manually edit every note created from a template again.

Without this feature i'm not able to use metabind embeds.

Alternatives

I have tried adding a VIEW field inside the template callout and the view field is populated from a property which is populated with an INPUT textArea field, but this doesn't really work, because you can't change delete the text in the callout, you are only able to add more text. I could not include the prompt, but that would mean the prompt would have to be somewhere else.

Additional Context

My main use would be TTRPG templates, but the capabilities of never having to edit individual notes created from a template would be incredible.
