Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I am working with very big excalidraw drawings and would like to insert (embed) only a subset (specified selection) of the full drawing into a standard MD document.
Right now I can only embed the full drawing and play with the sizes.

Describe the solution you'd like
It would be great to have a similar feature (frame) to what Miro has, where you can draw a outline of a given subset of the drawing and give it a name, then this reference frame name could be used.

In Excalidraw, we could have a specific outlining tool that allows the selection (square or rectangles) of a subset of the full drawing, this selection could have a reference name (like #SubSetName).

Then this name could be used somehow in the with the standard embedding methods. But it would only render the given subset of the big drawing

![[BigDrawing.excalidraw#SubSetName]]

Describe alternatives you've considered
Alternatively we could subdivide the BigDrawing into smaller ones and than have a Parent (Big Drawing), but this will get messy with trying to modify, link and draw items between drawings
