this makes me think of putting "import" into the patch meta-information (like position, size, font,...); probably a "status-field" of the patch would be a good thing to have (directly below the menu)

That does make sense. But [import] was just so quick and easy ;). The only downside of having the imports in the properties/meta that I can see is that what is being imported is much less obvious.
yes of course it is not enough to right click on a patch and define whatever you want to import. i was thinking of a visible field below the menu-bar that could be used for such patch specific things. (at least to display things like the imports,...)
but of course there are already objects in pd that affect the whole patch and can be hidden anywhere, like [block~]
