Hi Mats,

The actual usecase is that QGIS is actually used for drawing
(archeological) profiles. So on a (paper mimicking) grid, workers draw a
profile of some (say one meter) width, and somewhere in that profile
there is a 'special/measuring' point with totally different attributes
(then the profile).
So really two different entities, but only 'spatially' related as in:
this point is related to this profile drawing.

The actual QGIS project then is a list of those profiles (like a list of
profiles on a 'paper drawing'), but sometimes one have to 'insert' a new
profile, so you want to move the others (including those measuring
points)...

More clear like this? Do you agree with me then that these are two
tables/files instead of one?

I can think of some plugin which holds a handle to a one of the editing
layers, and listens to the mouse events on that one and translates those
to the other editing layer....
But I was hoping that maybe people already had this..:-)
