And I’d like to do it without custom code. The whole reason I use Webflow is so I can work with the visual aspects of design view, and it sort of defeats the purpose when elements created with custom code are only visible in published sites.
I think this is a perfect example where a semi-visual interface approach (http://forum.webflow.com/t/semi-visual-interface-for-features-pending-development/30804 ) would let users easily take advantage of this workaround. I wish every elegant solution of this kind were promptly implemented with that approach, while the complete visual solution is being developed.
