All that said, what I'd really like (separate to the note macros which I use for longer-term things) would be the ability to create custom quest objectives that go in your journal and show up in that section of your UI. If I want to craft a thing I could set up a shopping list as an objective - "obtain Item X 0/3; obtain Item Y 0/1" and then those get ticked off as I collect the items. Once I have everything, that objective is complete and it moves onto the next objective "craft an Item Z".

Not sure if it would be possible, but it would be great.
