An interesting approach, but I like an enhancement I suggested to Adobe so long ago that they have probably forgot it. It has two parts.
NAMED FRAMES. Give text frames a name, and ID will know that they are linked together. There’s no need to manually link them, which can get messy when the pages are widely separated. That then raises the question of how they are linked, meaning which comes first, second and so forth. That’s the other part.
SMART FRAMES. Make ID smart enough to handle automatically the most common forms of linking. That’d be top-to=bottom and left-to-right on a particular page followed by increasing page numbers. I’m not sure how to handle situations where text flows in more complicated ways. Perhaps there could be a manual mode.
The continued on and from remarks could be part of that named text features. You could define what them are when you give a text frame a name.
The result would be almost labor free. Simply provide each text flow with a name when you create it and all else follows. I might add that ID now has so many helpful labor saving features, that those two are among the few left unimplemented.
Fun ideas, Michael. Post them at indesign.uservoice.com and see if you can get traction there. :-)
