Plugins for PCB could allow external commands to come in and trigger save-writes,
  with some naming scheme,  window-opens, attribute-to-attribute updates,
symbol-to-footrpint updates....   all helpful for proj mgt and a kind of back/forward annotating too.

Page Manager of gschem could be added to to create some kind of framework for a project...
there's been talk of this before and some trial work on it I think....

The above two could be used as is, and scripts run on a project directory
to cause some set of the project pages to be loaded in gschem, and PCB.
Makefiles fit with the last way fairly well...

Suppose their was a list of
currently edited pages saved by gschem on exit or every so often by a timer.
The starting your session by a make file could detect a new target file that was saved
and trigger regenerating the open gschem script so it opens the newest list.
