There are 2 master cards that reference a research area, Development and Research.
What is the "research area"?
Research let's you search your library for three cards and put them in your research area. Development gives you the opportunity to choose one of those cards instead of drawing from your library. Is this the only way to play these cards?
I can find nothing in the rules or the forums referencing a research area.
Thanks in advance.

A self-defined area, distinct from any other areas.

Can those cards be played as if they were in your hand?
Can any of my minions use them?
Can you shed any more light on the mechanics of using these cards?

Research
Master.
Search your library for three cards (shuffle afterward) and place them face down in your research area. You may look at the cards in your research area at any time. A Methuselah may play only one Research in a game.

Master: trifle.
When drawing to replace this card, you may take your choice of one of the cards from your research area instead of drawing from your library.

No. The research area is a distinct area: it's not your hand, not your ready region, not anything else.

A bit similar card but without the problem of needing to draw that "you may play only one" Research first before Development would be Storage Annex.
