The fact that in Coda every row becomes a global reference is very convenient for small things, but doesn’t scale well for large docs / tables. In my current project, I’m using Coda to analyze 10K survey responses, and every time I type @ I have to wait for the autocomplete to filter these before I can get to what I actually want to reference. Also, we had to move failed attempts / older data to another doc, because they kept getting in the way with no way to say “ignore this page and its subpages for referencing purposes”
I wish there was a way for tables or even entire pages to opt-out of this feature. Individual rows could still be accessible via some variation of dot notation (e.g. @tablename.text), but they wouldn’t pollute the global scope. As an MVP, even being able to just exclude them entirely would be helpful.
