Say for example you create the illusion of a wreath pinned to the door and someone opens the door. Does your illusion move with the door, anchored to the object it is relatively static with? Say you create an illusion of a chest on the back of a wagon and the wagon moves: what happens?

Solves any logical conundrums about interactions with horse-and-carts, swaying ships, shifting tectonic plates, rotating interstellar bodies, etc.
