    Hello Unity & Timeline people.

    I'm attempting to design a node based editor in Unity. One of the prerequisites is for it to be a scriptable object, but also to reference objects in a scene. Timeline manages to do this. How does that work? How can I create a similar system for my grapher?

    Thanks in advance.

    Interesting! I will take a stab at this and report back with any findings.

    Any other advice on serializing scene objects into a ScriptableObject would be appreciated.

    Cheers!

    For future googlers, we abandonded this custom tool in favour of Unity's Visual Scripting system. Exposed References wasn't helpful for our goals.
