Use Master Page Items within Document

[smadell]

From my limited use, and looking through the Forum, Master Page items and Individual Page items seem to live separate lives. A master page item appears on every page, but cannot be changed on ONE page without affecting ALL pages. This makes their usefulness limited.

Items placed on a master page should be edit-able on each Document page without changing the master page itself. Why must Master Pages and Document Pages co-exist without interacting at all? Although I have very limited experience with Affinity Designer, I would liken this request to un-linking a Symbol in one or more respects, but leaving all other instances of the symbol unchanged. I think that's a valid analogy (although my Designer experience is slim...)
