Microsoft is trying to bring the OLE (or whatever it was called) to the web. The technology that allowed you to drop for example Visio picture inside Word document and edit it there.

Their vision is that developers are creating these "smart objects" which you can then put in various places. You can have them in Teams discussion, Loop, Outlook email client etc. The contents is synced between users in real-time. Instead of passing links to various applications where the work is performed, you bring the work to (for example) Teams.
