[oXygen-user] Auto-insert element with cc_config

[Oxygen XML Editor Support (Radu Coravu)]

Hi Scott,

Welcome to the Oxygen mailing list!

The DITA "Insert image" dialog has a "Figure title" text field. Once you 
fill that, it automatically inserts a figure. So what you want may not 
be that necessary.

Coming back to what you want, the "cc_config.xml" file does not have the 
ability to invoke custom actions in certain contexts.

There are other settings when creating a DITA framework extension which 
allow you to remove an item from the content completion window (for 
example remove <fig>) and add instead of it a custom Author action with 
the same name which may perform other things when invoked:

https://blog.oxygenxml.com/topics/custom-author-action-content-completion.html

For example you can create a custom Author action which inserts an XML 
snippet like this in the document:

"<fig><title></title><image href="/${ask('Input URL', 
///relative_url/)}/"/></fig>"

Oxygen has support for various editor variables which get expanded when 
used in XML snippets:

This "/{ask('Input URL', ///relative_url/)}/" editor variable would show 
a very simple URL chooser, so it does not show the "Insert image" dialog.

If you want to show the "Insert image" dialog, you have the option to 
create an Author action which calls a sequence of two or more other 
Author actions:
