Hi,

I found the following behaviour slightly annoying in the Link tool:

   1. Click somewhere in a document where a link can be created.
   2. Ctrl-Shift-X to list possible link targets.
   3. Click somewhere else in the document, where a link can as well be
   created, inside the same parent element: the list of targets is not emptied;
   so far so good.
   4. Click somewhere else in the document, where a link can as well be
   created, but outside the current parent element: the list is emptied, so one
   has to hit Ctrl-Shift-X again or click on the link button to populate the
   list.

Granted, for someone using the keyboard, this second Ctrl-Shift-X is
necessary to bring back the focus inside the Link tool. When using the
mouse, however, hitting the link button seems superfluous. I imagine that
Ctrl-Shift-X could bring the focus anyway, without the need to empty the
list when changing the implicitly selected element.


Thanks for the link tool, by the way: it's a great improvement, especially
for modular documents. FYI, we're going to use it for a number of "special"
references that exist in out document type. They use ID/IDREF but their
targets are specific elements. For instance, for glossary term occurences
pointing to glossary entries. The configuration options makes this a breeze.


Regards,
Benoit
