Problem description:
If you want to organise your document with one kind of content on left pages and another content on right pages, there is no easy way to do it.
An example can be a scientific publication where one wants to organise the text on the right pages and the illustrations on the left pages.

Current behavior:
There is no easy way to link a format to another one so when this format is chosen (for example, text body and headings) it only appears included into the other format (for example, left page or right page).

Expected behavior:
There should be an option in the "organiser" tab of the format style window that says "include in" and "exclude in". This way, one could choose for example to include the "text body" and "heading" formats only into the "right page" format, and the "graphics" and "frame" formats only into the "left page" format, so when the user is writing, the text jumps automatically form right page to right page.
Of course, many other possibilities are imaginable.
