Hi Yaron,

thanks for the new version!

Great decision. This is especially helpful with categories that just have a 
handful of pages in them, and typing in the name (even with autocompletion) 
just seems unreasonable to some users (especially those who like to use their 
mouse) :)

This new feature seems to have one small issue though: When a property where 
the type is set to 'Page' explicitly is being filled by the form, the field 
shows up just as a normal text entry for me. You can have a look at
