This possibility corresponds to actual use cases, e.g.:

- selecting recipient names from a name table and then a corresponding address
from a second table ;

- creating invoices by pulling name data from one table, and invoice data from
another table ;

- creating automatic bank draft / debit order forms

etc, etc.

If the UI changes do get implemented, please keep these possibilities
available.
