Hello Björn, all,
I have done some progress in the Fields dialog (or Cross-Reference, as
previously referred).Some points we must take into account, beyond what
already said by Bjorn and me, is the number of clicks needed to complete
a task versus how easy is to do them (by easy, I mean the distance
between the two clicks and how clear is their visibility on the screen).
Thinking about it, I made two mock-ups in HTML & CSS to the Wizard
proposal. I just made the first step suggested by Björn, so there is not
options for each task yeat.
You can interact with them in:

http://linkedej.com.br/libreofice-paulo/LibreOffice-Fields-Mockup-2.html
(Just tested in Firefox and Chrome)
The first proposal has in the first step just 2 task options: Set a
field & Insert a field. The second step allow to set the field type and
configure its proprieties. Done!
The second proposal has in the first step the choose of field type in
each task (Set and Insert). The second step just allow to configure the
field proprieties. Done!
In the Proposal 1, each task takes 2 or 3 clicks to be done. In the
Proposal 2, 2 clicks ever. But think is easier complete a task in
Proposal 1 than 2 because it takes more time to look all possibilities
now in the first step than just choose between 2 actions and then refine
your choice.
If there is any a better way to present the Step 1 in the Proposal 2,
keeping its 2 clicks and allowing easy to eye choise, I'd like to know. :D
Björn, I hope one of these proposals fit to your ideas. otherwise,
please say me then I make a new mockup. :) I'd like to know your opinion
on our next steps.
See you,
~Paulo
