Quicker way to convert reference to pin

Archive Feature Requests
#1

Right now, converting an existing reference to pin is a four step process. This can be reduced to just 'two steps’

The current flow is

  • Click on the reference
  • Select ‘add alias’
  • Manually delete the text
  • Hit Enter or press the button

These steps can be reduced to just two because by its very definition pin is a nameless reference. So user’s intention to convert something to pin is enough for the tool to figure out whether to convert a normal reference to reference pin. No need to make the user delete the reference text manually.
So new menu option called Convert to pin can be added to the menu. Clicking on it converts the existing reference to a reference pin.

There could also be an extra keyboard shortcut to “copy as pin reference” by analogy with existing “copy rem reference” (ctrl+shift+r)
