Hi Eliot, I had a new idea about how this multiple insertion of conkeyrefs could be implemented. When you right click inside a DITA topic opened in the Author mode you have two actions called "Paste as Link" and "Paste as Content Reference". Basically you can copy an entire element from a topic and use these actions to insert a conref or an xref to that target topic. Right now these special paste actions work only if you have copied a single element but they could be extended to work if multiple elements have been copied. Also right now only conrefs are added but if Oxygen detects that a key is defined in the DITA Map for the targeted topic it could insert conkeyref (for "Paste as Content Reference") or xref keyref (for "Paste as Link").

Hi Eliot,
I will add this as an improvement request and if we get more user feedback we might approach it in a future version. I do not yet see a way in which the dialogs would give the user a clear indication what he will insert when he chooses multiple elements.

In my training development mentioned earlier, I'm making all my prerequisites and objectives reusable and then constructing all such lists in modules via conref. This requires a separate conref for each individual list item or lcObjective.
The conkeyref creation dialog is easy enough to use, but it only lets me create one reference at a time (I'm not doing range references).
It would be much more convenient if there was some way that I could select multiple targets and have it create an individual conref to each one. Not sure how you'd do that and make a clear distinction between creating a range reference and multiple single references, but it would be very convenient if it was possible.
Cheers,
E.
