We have a list of references. Is it possible to allow for creation of new entries from within the entry picker?

That is, you have the option to pick from existing entries, or to create a new one. Creating a new one might open a new tab to create that entry.

Thanks!

Hi @will!

This isn’t supported right now, but we always appreciate the addition of new ideas on our [Ideas](https://ideas.builder.io/ideas) page.

Thank you!
