I've dreamed up various ways of running halyards (jib, main, no spinnaker, yet, anyway). They're probably all too complicated. I've been all over the internet looking at halyard organizers, for example, this one

and have found exactly one picture of how they're used, and now I can't find it again. I vaguely remember turning blocks attached to the holes.
I haven't found anyone here who uses one.
So, experts: Good idea, or no? And if it is a good idea, how do you route the halyards through the plate, and what do you route them to?
