[UI]Better use of space on Cross-Reference dialogue

On the EN forum you can find a mock-up that redistribute the
Cross-Reference tab on Fields→Others dialogue, using the space in a far
better way

Is something like that possible/difficult/easy to do? It will be a huge
improvement for complex documents.

It seems that hanya already hacked it.
See the patch attached to issue 122351 [1].
I propose to integrate it into trunk for AOO 4.0.

Anybody volunteering for patch review and integration?

I like the rearrangement too.

I don't know how many types are possible, I count 7. The type box needs 
to be large enough, so that no scrollbar is needed.

Nearly the same dialog is in Edit > Fields.

I think, that such rearrangement is a nice "easy hack".

Kind regards
Regina

mmh, this should be quite easy possible. It looks mainly as a
rearrangement of the controls we already have. But I would like to hear
an opinion of others as well.

I like the change and can see the benefit.
