I am not really sure if you know what you said you know above.

Notes are designed to map object names to blobs (technically you can point at a random other objects but "notes edit" and other UI would only work with blobs). A branch does not have its "object name", because it is *not* an object.

What you are saying sounds like "I know a screwdriver is not a chisel, but a screwdriver has a flat blade-like head, so I want to use it as a chisel".
