Hi @tiar

Many thanks for this proposal 🤗 🤩

The idea is really good, and being able to manage and organize assistants (through a layer or a dedicated assistant tree) is really interesting (at least for me)

Concerning the 1st case, having assistants on a “mask” under a layer, I have 2 questions:

- Is it possible to have many assistants per mask, or only one assistant per mask?  
– First case (many assistant available on a mask) seems to be a better possibility  
– Concerning this [case](https://krita-artists.org/t/planned-changes-to-assistants-coming-in-2022-or-later/43064/27)

- If implemented through mask, don’t forget to update PyKrita API to, at least, being able to access/create/rename/delete assistant mask as it’s currently possible for all other layer/masks (at least, the [basic Node class methods](https://api.kde.org/krita/html/classNode.html)  
– being able to create/update/delete an assistant on a mask in an another thing, even if it would be really great it’s probably not mandatory for a first released version
