In 3-7 this dialog will be once again a ref-input dialog which means
weeks or months to implement the most simple stuff that is not yet
supported by the dialog. Even if it would be easily possible I still
think that it is never a good idea to manipulate anything when you are
calling a modal dialog. Furthermore as I tried to explain in the bug
report it is a good thing that the dialog shows the relative reference
from the current position but I explained it already in the bug
report.

I removed myself from the bug report and will switch back to feature work.

Regards,
Markus
