Nautilus has collected the data and displayed it, if it can be changed Nautilus should allow this.

In Nautilus show a text file as normal but with the option to expand it like a directory showing sub sections as individual files.
e.g. an XML file called "bob" containing multiple sub sections opens up to a directory view with sub sections listed as files like "bob.address", "bob.age" etc. each can be edited or deleted or dragged into another file.
the . file should contain the XML structure surrounding the sub sections.
For many text configuration files there are "accepted" layouts which could allow this method of text file work to be performed.
