OE rel. object paperclip-img not informative

To start out, creds go out to crew and community for a nice product.

<b>Problem:</b>
This issue regards related objects, apart from images, inserted into the Online Editor.

When inserting related files/objects into the OE it is represented by the paperclip-image. That image doesent reveal any information about which file or object it represents.

This is a problem for our approximately 100 editors when they are about to delete/re-sort/insert new or move e.t.c. one or more files among several files in one page as they are not distinguished from each other.

Example:
http://www.medfak.lu.se/martin/oe/oe_clips.gif

Of course you can:
- right-click the clip-icon > choose properties > close the pop-up and recall which one you right-clicked.
- Or, click View-button > count from top which file(s) are interesting > click Edit-button > count clips-icons down from top in OE.
Ether way it gets timeconsuming and non-obvious for our sometimes less web-aware users when working with a lot of files.

<b>Suggestion:</b>
A huge usabillity improvement would be to include identification (name) of the related file/object directly in the OE itself.

Some (corny) examples:

What is your thaughts, community and crew?

Yes, I agree. Object's name should be displayed in the status line. We will try to implement this suggestion in OE 4.0 release.

Thats good news Kirill!

We are happy to hear this will be considered.

> "implement this suggestion in OE 4.0 release."

Does that imply an OE 3.0 in between or maybe you were referring to an OE-version <b>for</b> eZ publish 4.0?

Thanks

is the feature available yet (which provides a user-friendly view of inserted objects into the OE editor).
1. If so, how is that view managed?
2. Also, can you give an example or a link of how you can retrieve/access an inserted object's attributes/properties?
3. Better yet, how do you iterate through a set of Related objects that were inserted into a OE?

Thanks.
