One for the UX Team! Cross-references are definitely frequently used and worth to get integrated into the sidebar. But before we start with a new UI wouldn't it make sense to integrate the function into the navigator? For instance you right click the headings entry that should be inserted and below the current options (which should be removed by the way since none of them is not context sensitive) would offer 'Insert cross-reference >' with 'Page', 'Chapter', 'Reference' etc. below. Would that work?

Are you sure you want to maker the Navigator that flexible? Hmm... I wonder.
Anyway, the first thing we'd need to do is have a filter textbox at the top of the Navigator's forest view. And then you'd need to arrange it so that the user could easily switch the "refer using" choice. A bit tricky.
I suppose we could think of a "crossref mode" for the navigator; but I don't know how I feel about that, either.

[...] Bug 36310 suggests a new "drag & drop mode" from the navigator to insert cross-references. |
