    Im working in a very complex dialog editor for my RPG. Each dialog node could contain several checks for conditions, text/audio references in different languages, and any other that can come up uin the future. Is there some way I can use UI builder to create the element containing the node data, but save it separated from the main hierarchy and instantiate it from code?

    Yep. The UI Builder generates UXML files. You can load these files in C# anywhere you want, or reuse them inside other UXML files. Just create your dialog UI in its own UXML file and instantiate it in code via CloneTree().
