Clear and concise description of the problem

Right now, to add a property to the template i need to drag it from "Properties" panel Image

To be able to do that, it also needs to be in "Hidden" or "Properties panel" inside Type editing. I can't drag "Found in objects" properties without first dragging them at least inside "Hidden" Image

But, i can drag them in "Hidden", save type, then drag them in my Template body in Template Editing, and after that remove from a Type editing by right clicking - Remove from Type, which seems it doesnt need to be inside Hidden or Visible properties inside Type itself Image

Suggested solution

Add ability to show Property only inside Template/Note, without enabling it for whole Type

Alternative

Untie properties from Types, let them be added freely like in obsidian. In this case might be need to mind that could be created 2 properties with same name, but different value type

Additional context

I have different Templates that are simple notes with important properties related only to specific Collection visible in the body and not much else changed. For now, to add a property to different templates of same note (withoud flooding properties panel with completely unrelated to this note things), i need to do what i writed above, or duplicate a Type without any changes aside properties position. The last floods Collection with same Types with different properties visible only and the fist feels like not intended way to use it and too many steps
