Yes, I believe it is similar to

Can you provide more information about file format changes? At this time, one
of the goals of my prototype is to make it so there does not need to be any
file format change. Just to make some things clear:
1. We are not creating new types of lines
2. We are utilizing already existing functionality that can already be saved in
files
3. We are simply saving the user's style so they don't have to manually do it
themselves

Example: User draws a line in Draw. They set it to yellow, make it thick, and
set it to be transparent. This looks like a highlighter. Already can be saved
in the file. Next time user wants to draw this line, they must repeat the
process all over again. Goal is to create custom button that automatically
applies such styles when selected. Since we are not creating a new type of
object and simply applying existing properties, I see no need to change file
format.

This is very similar to the Inking functionality in MS Office. Therefore, the
goal is to market this as Inking functionality, not merely saving styles.
