[Qgis-developer] Vector equivalent of a VRT

[Zoltan Szecsei]

Hi All,
I've been googling around, but cannot find what I'm hoping for.

Is there a VRT implementation for vector data?

It would be nice to have a single name to load into QGIS for a set of 
vector data (eg SHP files), and as you pan around your 'VVT' file, QGIS 
would open and display only the files relevant to your current view-port.
This is of course very useful for NGI's sheet based vector offering - 
but the VVT implementation need not bother checking for overlapping 
vector data, but simply index by the MBR of each (SHP) file.

TIA,
Zoltan
