This is a problem that we have asked Legacy to address on numerous occasions, without success! It is not possible to source individual fields. I frequently have more than one source attached to, for example, a birth, and I agree one cannot tell which bit is being sourced. Some people use the notes and write the source next to each entry in the notes. Personally, not for me though.
