i'm looking for something like this:
given :
- Concept A which has a reference to a single item of a list consisting of instances of Concept B
- Editor for Concept A has a link declaration, such that I get a dropdown menu with the available instances of Concept B

Would be very thankful for any advice or documentation link. :-)
Kind regards,

The user guide says: "This kind of cell menu part allows one to make MPS perform an arbitrary action when a respective menu item will be selected in a completion menu. One should specify matching text for a menu item and write a function which does what one wants."
generic item matching text : add field handler : (node, model, scope, operationContext)->void { node.field.add new (<default>) ;Creating new root nodes is done with the following action:
