RPP - Using a data element is difficult in RPP

Using a data element is difficult with RPP.
Whenever a data element (?E? entity) should be called (creation segment, setting macrostructure, report creation (?-CE?) ...) with RPP it is mandatory to use a combo box with all elements of your local workspace (sandbox).

When a local workspace contains 50000 entries, then the seizure becomes very painful and long.

It would be wise to have the opportunity to seize the item and verify its existence with a single click without ever passing through the combo box (unless you don't know which item to be added).
This corresponds to the notion of entry in expert mode.
