Research direction
The issue requests adding a direct method to add referenced cards to the canvas. To implement this, start by understanding the existing canvas and card components in the codebase, likely under src/components/canvas or similar. Look for the current workflow of opening referenced cards and identify where a new action could be inserted. Since there are no comments or linked PRs, it's recommended to seek clarification from maintainers on the expected user interaction and any UI constraints. Consider adding a button or context menu item on the referenced card view to trigger the addition to the canvas.
