Description

It would be great if it was to possible to make a reference from an SELECT tag from an INPUT/SELECT tag. It would permit to write relations between INPUT or SECTIONS.
As an example:

Instead of

<SECTION name="screen" multivalued="yes">

  <INPUT name="INPUT_1" description="My first input" />

  <SELECT1 name="INPUT_2">
    <ITEM>
      <LABEL>Option1</LABEL>
      <VALUE>value1</VALUE>
    </ITEM>
    <ITEM>
      <LABEL>Option2</LABEL>
      <VALUE>value2</VALUE>
    </ITEM>
    <CONSTRAINT>
       <DEFAULT>value1</DEFAULT>
     </CONSTRAINT>
   </SELECT1>
</SECTION>

to write this:

<SECTION name="screen" multivalued="yes">

  <INPUT name="INPUT_1" description="My first input" />

  <SELECT1 name="INPUT_2">
    <ITEM>
      <LABEL>Option1</LABEL>
      <VALUE>value1</VALUE>
    </ITEM>
    <ITEM>
      <LABEL>Option2</LABEL>
      <VALUE>INPUT_1.value</VALUE>
    </ITEM>
    <CONSTRAINT>
       <DEFAULT>value1</DEFAULT>
     </CONSTRAINT>
   </SELECT1>
</SECTION>

Then the value of Option2 would be dynamic.

Is it clear ? What's your opinion about it François ?
