[oXygen-user] Feature Request: Create Multiple Conrefs With One Selection

[Oxygen XML Editor Support]

Hi Eliot,

I had a new idea about how this multiple insertion of conkeyrefs could 
be implemented.
When you right click inside a DITA topic opened in the Author mode you 
have two actions called "Paste as Link" and "Paste as Content Reference".

Basically you can copy an entire element from a topic and use these 
actions to insert a conref or an xref to that target topic.

Right now these special paste actions work only if you have copied a 
single element but they could be extended to work if multiple elements 
have been copied.
Also right now only conrefs are added but if Oxygen detects that a key 
is defined in the DITA Map for the targeted topic it could insert 
conkeyref (for "Paste as Content Reference") or xref keyref (for "Paste 
as Link").

Regards,
Radu
