"Insert reference to" is ambiguous. It can mean:

1. Choose what element of the document the reference you're inserting will
target.
2. Choose what aspect of the target will be used as the text of the reference.

My suggestion can only mean (2.)


> > "Reference"   -> "Reference target text"
> Why not "Reference source text" (of course without "source")

Because references don't have a source, they only have a target. There is no
source text to reference.

> > "Above/Below" -> ""Above"/"Below""  (i.e. add quotation marks)
> The reference is not using quotation, don't see need for it.

Again, it disambiguates. The current text may mean:

1. The reference will be above or below something unspecified.
2. The reference text will be either "above" or "below".

I didn't quite understand this last bit of your comment.
