💡 Feature Idea: Assign an object to someone

MURAL, you are so close to having an amazing feature based on the existing 'Tag a collaborator' functionality. It would be EXTREMELY useful to be able to assign an object (Sticky, text, shape, pic, icon anything) to a collaborator (member and guest) by simply right mouse clicking and having assign option where you could select a person. I know you can tag people in comments but there are issues with it:

1) You cannot Tag yourself

2) Comments add a visual circle to the object which is not needed if you just want to assign an object of interest to someone to own.

The general problem I have is people push back from using MURAL for certain use cases in the business because they cannot see a holistic picture of all the relevant items of interest from multiple canvases in one place. Think about how MS Planner/Tasks can give you an overview of everything assigned to you across multiple different task boards and plans and you may get what I am thinking about.

An assign feature does not seem like a big step from existing Tagging in comments but would bring a suite of wider use cases into possibility. Would also give the ability to see everything of interest you are assigned to.

    Please! This feature would be so helpful and would allow for clearer communication when planning with virtual teams and prioritizing tasks. The MS Planner reference is spot on, and I believe Smartsheet is similar. Please strongly consider this feature.
