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.</pre>
