"Copy as reference" is very useful - the writer avoids dialog boxes
completely.
But the reference format is always "<reference>".
Some documents use mostly "<reference> on page <page>", or maybe only
"<page>"
It'd be very nice if LyX could use the "last reference format used",
instead of just defaulting to <reference>. So, if the writer sets some
other format, then this stays in effect thereafter. Then the writer is
no longer forced to open dialogs to correct every reference.
This shouldn't create any problems for those that prefer just
<reference> either.
