Integrated note-taking functionality for computing system entities

A computer-implemented method comprising:

• detecting an object type selection input;
• based on the object type selection input, selecting a subset of object types from a set of object types corresponding to a first application;
• automatically detecting generation of a data object in the first application that is configured to operate on the data object;
• in response to detecting the generation of the data object and, a determination that the data object has an object type included in the selected subset of object types,
• automatically sending a control instruction to a second application that is distinct, from the first application and includes note-taking functionality,
• wherein the control instruction identities the data object and instructs the second application to generate a notebook component corresponding to the data object;
• receiving, from the second application, location information that identifies a storage location of the notebook component in the second application;
• storing association information that associates the data object and the notebook component, the association information including a location indicator that indicates the storage location of the notebook component in the second application;
• and
• accessing, by the first application, the notebook component in the second application using the location indicator.

A computing system comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• memory storing instructions executable by the processor;
• wherein the instructions, when executed, configure the computing system to provide:
• a configuration component configured to;
• receive a type selection input indicative of a selected subset of object types, selected from a set of object types associated with a first application;
• a notebook creation component configured to:
• receive an application object generation notice indicative of a data object generated in the first application;
• determine that the data object has an object type in the selected subset of object types;
• and
• based on the determination, send a control instruction to a second application that is distinct from the first application, the control instruction identifying the data object and instructing the second application to generate a notebook component corresponding to the data object;
• and
• an association component configured to:
• receive, from the second application location information that identifies a storage location of the notebook component in the second application;
• and
• generate association information that indicates an association between the data object and the notebook component, the association information including a location indicator that indicates the storage location of the notebook component in the second application.
