Description:
------------
Now that crossLinks work properly with elementNamePrefix/elementNamePostfix (yay! They work great!), I'd like to have selectable crosslinking.
For example, imagine a table called notes. You might store all notes here which are then linked (through cross linking tables) to other tables (perhaps to more than one table at once). It might be handy to pick which table(s) to which you might want to link the note, and then display the possible choices (ala hierselect)

I wasn't quite clear. Let me try again. Imagine that the notes table is cross-linked to many other tables through many cross-linking tables. Like so:

building -> building_note -> note
phone -> phone_note -> note
contact -> contact_note -> note
etc...

At the moment, I get a select box for each cross-link.
I'd like to allow a choice in the form of which of the cross-links to use, rather than displaying all of them at once.

Yes, but it's even worse than that. I want to select which cross-link tables (plural!) to show.
This might be too much of a pain to implement.
