Bruce,
I think the user will need to select the location type so, where in the
word-edit-citation.jpg pic the fixed 'Pages' word is placed a pick list would
be placed to allow the user to select the locator type.
Along with paragraph, and even line, numbers. There is time-in
(hours,minutes, seconds) for audio and video. Manuscripts references can
include line number in column number on verso or recto (for the side of the
page)
But rather than have variable multi- part locators in the GUI we can keep the
single input box but with conventions such as time = hh:mm:ss or Manuscripts
=line#:Column#:[R/C]
These format hints could be shown on the GUI panel
