Select record(s) in link wizard

Question

The TYPO3 link wizard allows editors to select pages within the page tree. But if an editor wants to create a link to a page loading a record (e.g. the detail page of a news record), the editor needs to insert the exact query params to pass the arguments to the page. E.g. if the editor wants to pass the ID of a news, he / she / it needs to insert tx_news[news]=X into the field "Additional link parameters".

In my experience this often forces wrong links stored in the DB, as editors enters wrong arguments or copy the absolute link from the frontend.

Question:

Is it possible to create an own link wizard which allows editors to ...

• ... select a page AND a record from a different page

or

• ... select just a record and define the ID to the page in site config or by TypoScript?
