[oXygen-user] UI for Creating Key-Based Image Refs?

[Radu Coravu]

Hi Eliot,

Thanks for the details. This will probably be the way to go when we get 
to implement this.
I also had an alternate idea which may be quite silly, if the user shows 
the current Insert Image dialog and chooses an image URL reference like 
he does now, if we find out that the image URL is mapped in the root 
DITA Map scope to a key we could instead an image keyref instead of an 
image href. But this functionality might be quite hard to understand and 
use.

Regards,
Radu
