Re: Requests for shortcuts/features?

I've been happily using UR for a while now, but there are a few minor niggles I've been having trouble with. Does anyone know if these can be worked around, or can I submit them as feature suggestions?

- Is there any way to add a shortcut to an existing item, as a child of the current item, by typing its name rather than having to unearth it in the tree view and drag it into the child window? (This is the one feature I really miss from TheBrain)
I don't think this is possible. If you do this frequently, make a search item in the search pane that will do advanced search on the item title (set item title attribute to auto-complete values from existing items), you will quickly see item titles and then link from the search results directly to data explorer pane

For example, if I specify that a project must have a specification, design document and final report, can I cause markers to appear when I create a new project that indicate that these need to be filled in?
sth like required attributes ... hmm not possible ;-)
Maybe a post-check, make a search that will list only required attributes and search for items from the given template that have at least on of those missing. You'd see the list of those items in the search results with blanks on where's and what's missing ... you could then quickly go through the list and correct it ...

Just work-arounds, I know ...
