Maybe this is already possible, but I routinely have trouble knowing what precise entity to select in certain search fields, if lots of entities have the same name. Attached is an example. I could obviously label the entities differently, but it would also be great to force a linked lookup field to show in these search fields. My database is such that although there are entity IDs, which is helpful, it isn’t a great solution.

I know this is possible in certain other places. But it appears to be missing in certain other places.

> I have many things in a single database that are all named the same. For example, in my “Iteration” database I already have over 200 records called “Iteration 1” and there will ultimately be thousands more named the same way in the future. I wish that when I clicked on “Link or create”, I would be able to view some fields (like “Client” or “Due Date” or “Team” for example) that are on the entity I’m trying to link to. Currently the only fields that are shown are “Name” and “ID” and “Database”…
