Multi document creation during edit mode

[roikle]

Issue: Routinely I wish I could create multiple documents during an edit session. For example, if I was creating a new document which contained a reference field for another document type. In this situation the later document would need to be created first, before it can be linked to the former document. This forces the user to always make sure all related documents are already available before creating a new document. Or to save a work in progress document, than create a new related-able document, and than go back to the work in progress document and add the new relation.

Idea: Instead of breaking up the flow of data collection, it would be a better user experience if users could create multiple document during the creation of a document (or pause an edit session to open a new one). For example have a create document option be available when a user clicks on a reference field type, which would pop-up a form view window of that schema type when an existing document doesn't exist.

The document editor service is able to spawn multiple document editors simultaneously. However, interaction with a map would have to be locked to one element, I suppose.

The biggest issue here it to figure out how the user interacts with the various editors.
