I have an observation on the original use of OPML, i.e., for outliners (the one I utilize frequently) : Many recent outliners (logseq, roam) added custom properties/fields (for DB-like block-level queries), but they don't seem to support them when importing or exporting opml. The only "field" that is somewhat supported is the "_note" [1].

Yes, same with Workflowy. All advanced features are non-exportable. And "advanced" includes images.

It‘s a pity.

Off topic question. Which outliner are you using currently? I am finding it difficult to get good outliners for writing in Windows.
I'm using dynalist.io. I'm just used to it. The app is Electron, though. but I feel it is responsive enough for writing.
