Is there a way to 'reference plain text' like with ‘reference Inline Footnotes’?

I think what you may be looking for is documented in §10.1.5, Including Text From Other Documents. There are two ways of using it:

  1. <$include> where the placeholder tag is selected and hyperlinked to the target that should be included at that spot.
  2. <$include:Name of Binder Item> which does not require a link.

There are pros and cons to each method of course. One adapts to item name changes automatically and the other does not, but the second can be influenced by Replacements, which may be of use if you have different sets of prefab text to insert depending on the compile target.

These placeholders can be placed almost anywhere, even inside of footnotes, and when using the “plain-text” form, even in compile settings such as the Section Layout prefix/suffix fields.
