We really need a Dashboard Banner similar to a Heading or a Text Block - except it would allow one to include fields and the ability to apply Rich Text to those fields as well as arbitrary typed text. The fields would display without a label, but since the user could type in ad-hoc text, labels wouldn't be necessary. Afterall, the field value itself would often be sufficient. The field banner would be linked to a Record Selector. You might place it above a Record Detail on a tab, for example. Or on several tabs.
I think this is a really important one and should be a piece of cake for SS to implement and deliver (easy for me to say ;)
