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

[Eliot Kimber]

When I'm performing the action, the task in my mind is "insert a graphic"
not "create a key reference", so going to the keyref icon isn't my first
instinct. 

The more I think about it, the more I think having a keyref option on the
base Insert Graphic dialog would be best: that way I don't have to think
about it at all.

Of course, to be really complete, I should have the option of declaring a
new key at the time I reference a graphic for the first time, but that may
be beyond what is reasonable in these generic actions.

Cheers,

E.
