Description Christian Damus CLA 2017-11-24 14:16:32 EST
The tool-tips on the "Link" and "Create and link" buttons for single references indicate the kind of thing being linked, which is user friendly.  In fact, the tooltip indicates the *role* of the linked object, which usually implies its type.

In contrast, the tool-tips for the same buttons in the multi-reference table are just "Link" and "Create and link", without any indication of what is to be linked.  It isn't practical to use the role here because that is often a plural in Ecore models.  But it would be nice at least to have at least the name of the type in these tool-tips.

So, for example, where an editor for Ecore models has in the EReference::eOpposite control

  "Link EOpposite" and "Create and link EOpposite"

in the EClass::eSuperTypes control we should have

  "Link EClass" and "Create and link EClass"

(suggesting that probably "Link ESuperTypes" is not good because it's plural)
