Description
It would be great if it was possible to select not just one reference at a time when linking an entry to bibliography. It is possible already to link more than one file at one time (click the link button, choose all the files you want to link, and save). It would be great if this would be possible for references as well.

The reason why it is only possible to link one reference at a time is that there is an additional step, where you can specify a corresponding page (see e.g. https://demo.openatlas.eu/reference/add/1603/source).
Implementing linking multiple would be possible technically and I can clearly see the need for that. The main question would be how to implement it in an intuitive way that shows that following options are available:

- linking one reference with specifying a page
- linking multiple references with specifying the same page for all of them
- linking multiple references without specifying a page

Not sure when this happened, I guess at one of the massive form overhauls, but it seemed now to be possible to link multiple references in one go.
So closing this issues but in case I misunderstand or overlooked something, please add a note.
