I just had a thought. How easy would it be to create a module that
files all pages, blogs, images and places a number next to them. Maybe
'all' would be to much. When creating the page, blog, image, etc a
checkbox is displayed that if selected the item gets added to this
list. Now when I next create a page, I can (instead of typing in the a
href for a link or img src for a picture etc.) simply click on this
list and type in something like [23]. This would then display the item
associated with that number.

Would that help Chris? Is it possible as a module? Linking to internal
pages would be a breeze for all the.
