For this case, though, it will have to be called up specially, not made to look 
like it was already there.

The field in question also allows users to put in images - something I don't 
think native fields can do. So the app would have an enter text button that 
calls up the native field, where the user can type or paste text that is then 
inserted into the LC field.
