[Seaside] Suggestions for related complex data?

[Markus Fritsche]

Hi!

I'm writing to ask for Ideas how to set related complex
data? Say, I have a record "article", and want to set the
relation to a distributor, how do I do it best? 
Known possibilities:

1. a selection list (selectFromList:selected:callback:label)
   with a button for adding new distributors from the 
   article form.
2. a link to my distributor-listing application, causing a
   "select" button on the right side to appear.

Pros and cons:
1. Pro: Selection of a distributor "in place", no need to 
switch to a new page and switch back. 
Con: not very concise with many distributors
2. Pro: concise, the user knows the distributor-listing
application. 
Con: A new page, interrupting the "keyboard" flow of
the user.

Are there other possibilities (javascript, popups)? 

Regards, Markus
