I've seen this attribute of the parameter-tag, but still we need more.
like 'fk_key', 'fk_description'. Or should this be 'name' and
'description' attributes ? Besides this we might want to add another
flag to describe wether it should become a dropdown or some other kind
of 'lookup', i.e. if the referenced source is very large, we don't want
a dropdown with about 30000 entries. What do you think about ?


Thanks,
