IMHO the ability to select one from a list of items during a clipping insertion operation would be a wonderful feature. That said, you can wire up your own via AppleScript. I don't recall the exact technique but there are a few examples out there on the web. Here's a short and easily read link with some ideas on how to do it: http://books.google.es/books?id=Ud9WZg-m87EC&pg=PA333&lpg=PA333&dq=create+a+custom+dialog+applescript&source=bl&ots=HOwxy-dixl&sig=9IreOrdzmaqTthyQeYwBqGYFwwc&hl=en&ei=r3M-SrCTMcOMjAeNjrQP&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q=create%20a%20custom%20dialog%20applescript&f=false
Good luck and let us know what you come up with.
