Note:

• This is the very first implementation to lay the foundation for sub-referencing in VE.
• The UI work is kept simple and will be improved in a later iteration.
• If we find edge cases pertaining to this task, we will write them down.

User Story:

As a user of Visual Editor I want to reuse a reference and add different details to create a precise reference, e.g. with page numbers.

Scope:

• Temporary button in the Reuse tab next to the existing references.
• Use cases:
  • First time sub-referencing of an existing reference (the existing reference will be be given a name and become the parent reference (if it does not already have one) and a sub-reference is created with the parent ref name)
  • Second sub-referencing of an existing reference (only a sub reference is created with the parent ref name )

Not in scope

• Reuse-dialog displays all existing sub-references in the article
• sub-referencing an existing subreference is also out of scope for now.
• Do not change any existing behavior
• This task is not about references created by templates. Only refs that already show up in the reuse tab.
• Moving the reference into the reference list
• No changes to ref list.

Deployment:

• This must be behind a feature flag
