For what it is worth, I had some free development time and have added the following features to the next version of PageEdit.

- added ability to insert "id" attibutes into current xhtml file

- added ability to insert hyperlinks to other existing xhtml files
(only when opened with OPF)

- added ability to insert links to **existing** images, audio, and video files
(only when opened with OPF)

These bring back features that previously existed in BookView but that have been adapted to PageEdit's much simpler environment.

So as long as you add the files you want to work with (xhtml, audio, video, images, styles, etc) in Sigil *before* launching PageEdit with the book's OPF tab selected, you should be able to create destinations for links (insert ids), create links to those destinations, and link in existing images, audio, video, etc. right from within PageEdit.

Hope this helps.

BTW, this will pretty much mean that with the next release, PageEdit will have reached "1.0.0" status as it will be feature complete. PageEdit will never have the ability to add new image files, new audio files, new video files, etc, as those require better control and modifications to the OPF and are therefore better suited to be done in Sigil proper first before launching PageEdit (or any other external editor for that matter).
