| Description | I've been playing around with Airtable lately (https://airtable.com/) and I wondered if Composr Catalogues could provide a similar feature set (perhaps in v11). The ease of linking entries is the thing I find the most useful. |

Airtable has over $10.6 million in funding to produce this system.
Essentially this issue is a "make a system as user friendly as Airtable" rather than a specific feature, and we couldn't do it without at least a six-figure investment specifically in that.

Mythus suggested something similar re finding records (I linked the issue).
To be clear the only reason this issue was closed is that it just wasn't something clear enough to manage. I am keeping Mythus's issue open as it's pretty specific, and if implemented could be done for all content types.
It is very unlikely this feature would make v11 as we have so many basic UX things to do (e.g. auto-fixing photo orientation as recently discussed, or the major theme upgrading): tackling UX for people with huge amounts of content is much more minority use case. That doesn't mean I don't want it to happen, e.g. in the future or if someone can contribute the code.
