Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by clarifying the proposed abstract-layer and dynamic-style-function API for shared GeoJSON data; done should allow multiple styles or feature selections without duplicating the polygons.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

enhancement

If you have multiple features on a geojson file, it would be handy to keep the features as 'abstract' layers to select which style to be used. By 'abstract' here I mean that they're working on the same data.

An example could be to highlight a set of polygons reflecting feature A in abstract layer 1, while it would highlight feature B in abstract layer 2.

Right now I would have to add the same polygons (geojson) with different style functions to achieve this, essentially duplicating the data. The problem grows with more features I would want to illustrate..
