Demo of modifier keys bypass reference mark type popup menu

Patch set 7 introduces a perhaps already suggested use of the modifier keys
keys that do not change the insert-as mode (drag mode) but bypass the reference
mark type popup menu. For example, when "Insert as Cross-Reference" is the set
insert-as mode, holding the Shift key before releasing the mouse button will
automatically set the reference mark type inserted as "Page Number (unstyled)",
holding the Ctrl key sets the reference mark as "Referenced Text, and holding
Ctrl+Shift sets it to "Above"/"Below". This use of the modifier keys seems more
useful to me than having them change the insert-as mode. No worries if this
isn't what is wanted, there is a patch also ready that makes the modifiers
change the insert-as mode.

Other behavior change:
Content types that only work with one insert-as mode ignore the set insert-as
mode and use the mode they work with. Iow, hyperlink content will always
insert-as if
the insert-as mode is set to "Insert as Hyperlink" and reference,
footnote, endnote, and number range type fields will always insert-as
if the insert-as mode is set to "Insert as Cross-Reference".

Likely the (key modifiers bypass popup) hint could be improved.
