Bruce,

   Not to get around poor databases or interfaces, but to quickly find
appropriate references.

   With appropriate key words it's not an issue. The trick is to have a
reasonable choice of key words and remember what each encompasses. I can
certainly live without the feature, but it would be a simpler equivalent of
creating pseudo users and having each "user" designate a "personal" sub-set
of references.

   Since Markus has been clever enough to already coded the latter, if it's
not a hassle to create a modification which is project-specific, why not? A
simpler solution to the same end ... but for a single user.
