That’s correct - for now results are only persisted locally (within the executing infrastructure).
If you’d like to persist results for more than that (e.g. across flows), it would need to be persisted to remote storage.

There are some requests for integrations to add this support (to persist results natively, outside of local storage), but I don’t an ETA of when they could be implemented and released at this time
