Hi,
The last proposal for links management in the wysiwyg editor can be
found here :
http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/download/Design/NewWysiwygEditorInterface/wy…
Sounds nice. Some comments:
* The link menu items should be improved IMO:
- I would put adding an external link at the bottom since it's not
the most used one
- The labels should be improved. I don't know if "wanted page" is
obvious (it wasn't for me)
* The screenshots are missing wiki selection (for multi wiki installs)
* I'm not sure I like the wizard like approach, i.e. having to select
some value before selecting others. I think I would have preferred a
single screen but that's me only.
* It's missing the ability to specify any number of parameters (for
advanced usages)
Thanks

How about this interface:
http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/download/Design/NewWysiwygEditorInterface/ui…
This works a bit like the way the Mac file explorer works. By default,
when creating or editing a link, the current wiki/space/document are
selected. If the user clicks on a different wiki, space or anchor, the
descending columns are cleared, and a "loading" message is displayed,
like in:
http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/download/Design/NewWysiwygEditorInterface/ui…
For links to non-existing documents ("wanted"), under spaces and
documents a custom input box can be displayed, as in:
http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/download/Design/NewWysiwygEditorInterface/ui…
The list of spaces/documents is populated on display, like the RMUI
tables. Above the list, a "Displaying S-E out of T" message is displayed
only when the list does not fit in one page.
The anchor column can be used to link to a document section (should we
display sections from the saved document, or from the edited document if
the selected document is the currently edited one?), to an attachment,
or to a comment. Custom ID means entering in an input box a custom ID,
without any checks if such an element exists or not. Should we also have
a "page section" which allows to choose between the content area,
comments, attachments, history?
Each column can be filtered by entering some text in the respective box:
http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/download/Design/NewWysiwygEditorInterface/ui…
Besides the "Simple" view, there's also the advanced view, and the
"additional params" view.
The params view allows customizing the link, by entering target, rel,
class and id attributes:
http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/download/Design/NewWysiwygEditorInterface/ui…
For the advanced view I don't have screenshots, but it could contain the
suggest input boxes for wiki, space and document name, and some way of
selecting a custom action (view, edit, cancel, ssx...), a custom version
from the history, a query string.
Sorry for the raw aspect of the drawings.
