Quick adding of links to new coin page or existing coin page

Hi

Is it technically possible to implement search engine into page "Add a coin to the catalog" or "Add or modify data" page within section "References", where user could search for similar coins, without refreshing page OR with refreshing but retaining already filled out fields. I guess basic alphanumerical input search field is enough, I don't see the need for other advanced search possibilities. Search results should be more compact as regular search results, each search result having its own checkbox. By ticking it into value "true" and adding all ticked checkboxes, links of selected coins would be automatically inserted into "Links" field. Nice to have would be a possibility to pop-up each coin picture from search results, without opening the actual coin page. Nowadays, you need to manually copy links from other open pages.

This proposal is for editing into the page of new coin or existing coin. There is also a question if some kind of "interconnected system" if it could be developed, that would add the link of this new-not-yet-added or existing coin, to the coins from which link is being set up at this coin. Links would therefore be added on both sides at the same time - for such functionality maybe an extra checkbox would be needed (maybe there is no need to always interconnect two coins).

This proposal is new follow-up of my previous idea:

LP!

Hi,

for the first, I added the idea to the improvement list up for discussion.

Regarding second part with "auto-linking", idea was suggested already and to date was rejected because linking may go one way but not necessarily both ways. If I'm not mistaken there have been 1 or 2 examples mentioned in a forum topic.

An example that popup to my mind now: linking a genuine Greek coin (like the owl type) with a recent token borrowing the design. Original coin could be mentioned on the token page but the token would not be mentioned on the original coin page.
