custom made areas for atlases

[thomaseverest]

@loarie

if you’re interested in a better tool for indicating the destination of IDs after a taxon split, we are considering figuring out a way to offer this that doesn’t make use of Atlases (places/listed taxa) - ie maybe some other way of creating a spatial filter for a subset of observations/IDs that the taxon change can make use of

Is there any progress on this? Atlasing is currently a huge pain for these level 2 places. I’m disincentivized not to do taxon splits because of the difficulties involved.

Maybe shift-click, or click and drag over a large area.

I was also thinking this would make things much much quicker.
