First of all, just wanted to say that this is a very useful module, and thanks for contributing to the community!

I think that it would be great, coming from a developer with a poor memory, to be able to "browse" for nodes, view pages, etc, instead of needing to use the AHAH field to find them by name. The Nodepicker module - not to be confused with the Nosepicker module, which is utterly useless and imaginary to boot! - had this functionality, but it has been deprecated in favor of this module. One thing I liked about its implementation is it used a view to allow for browsing, which would imply easy customization for developers looking to tailor the interface to best navigate their site's structure.

I'm not sure if you've been thinking along the same lines and plan to implement this in the future, or if you'd rather this feature be provided as a separate module to extend Linkits capabilities.

Either way, let me know. I'd be interested to hear your thoughts.

Thanks,
Patrick

Browsing nodes would have been perfect!

Hi Patrick, I see what you main.

I think that this "list view" would be a grate feature but I rather see this in a separate modul like you suggested.
If you feel that you can do this, Im open to discussions on how to implement this and "hook" it into Linkit core the best way.

Maybe blixxxa (user/293786) have some ideas for this too, he is the one who created nodepicker.

subscribe, I'd really like to have this when I switch some older sites from the TinyMCE Node Picker module to this one.

Subscribe. It seems like linkit will need some architectural work to make this work. At the same time, it might not be that terrible: Another module could hijack the linkit form, present the picker, and use some Javascript to populate the correct field and submit...
