The bug is an immediate artifact of the way remarks are linked to objects in the database.
The fact that remark links cannot be figured out on datasource level is a fundamental flaw to this system. This system needs thorough refactoring by forcing a linkage based on object type + DBID + optional secondary index, not via a meaningless and arbitrary string. However, the string approach allowed maximum flexibility.
A work-around would be to make the scenario save logic copy remarks. This will not be a solid solution; eventually datasources must be able to deal with this properly.
This issue will also occur when trying to copy Ecospace visual styles.

Auxillary data needs to be tied to a model and scenario (sim, space, tracer) or time series (dataset or series)

Implemented, but needs further testing. Especially Ecospace visual styles need deep assessment.
