Hello Seong,
in 3.5 it will also be possible to run UPDATE requests from that dialog. I can
see that ASK and CONSTRUCT would also make sense. The reason why I limited this
to SELECT was that I didn't want this dialog to be overcrowded with too many
templates. However, I could add a switch or group them by tabs to make this
clearer. This request has just missed the freeze for 3.5 but I will record it
as an enhancement request for a later update.
Thanks for the suggestion
Holger
