Very helpful module indeed, but I would like to ask you to add one more feature. When a node reference field links to more then one content type then noderefcreate should give you the opportunity to decide which type the new node will be.

Any ideas on how to approach this on a conceptual level within the code?

For the UX side, I can see some sort of confirmation on initial node save (which is when I'm guessing the nodes are created?), where you can then select the node type.

Or, a different workflow might be a link (per type) that takes you to the node/add page, which would loop back to your current node edit/add page and autofill the next empty field.

An approach to solve this could be to, if no match is found, inject in the options values like:

- The title you entered [content type 1]
- The title you entered [content type 2]

That could mean implementing our own node_reference_potential_references() or maybe just our own node_reference_autocomplete function where we add some values to the options.
