Ya thought of that as well
I don't want to display the description on the page, only link to the page, those
creating the page know what it means, those reading the page may not.
I like the list because you can scan through the list rather than type ahead with the
tokens, leaves room for similar entries that mean the same.
If the list had a token like entry point that would be cool and we could create red links
to create the pages.
Currently I added a link to the form and a note to save before adding a new one.
I guess that leads to another question.
Can a page be saved without leaving the edit page?

field . Page Forms supports having multiple values within a given field, and ...

That does sound like an option,
I was looking for something a little different as I wanted to create the
selection as a page that uses a form were I can provide a
description/definition.
