289 might be possible as an additional UI-level thing. In MLT, I do
not plan to make a keyframe object to which multiple effects are
added. That would require too much revision to the framework. Rather,
keyframes will drive "property automation" referring to MLT
properties, specifically.

I think you should use 336 instead of 289 for this

289 - no, this might be possible as a kdenlive-specific feature, but
dependent upon 336, I believe.
270 - no, because that is simply another UI feature to edit keyframes
when lines are cumbersome

I think 270 can be done today, if desired. Certainly, 336 is dependent upon 289
