We think we have solved the issue. With the latest elpa devel package,
https://elpa.gnu.org/devel/hyperbole.html,
(hyperbole-9.0.2pre0.20250105.123756.tar) we now support indirect buffers.

A minor remaining issue is that highlighting when creating a new explicit
button will not work expect for in the buffer where the button is created. But
everything else should work. Please give it a try.
