<p>So I have a 'Single' that uses entries from different 'Structures'. I can choose one or more entries with the fieldtype. But often I want to select an entry that is not created yet .. so I have to go back create that entry and then select it .. </p>

<p>It would be so much easier if I could just say "create a new entry" right there </p>
