Create Reference Control directly from the terminal

[Saranbalu]

For any FP terminal, if I have to create a control for its reference, I have to create a reference first and then the control for that reference. It's a 2-step process. If the reference is not going to be used anyway, you will have to delete that out as an extra step. Why not just have an option to create the control of the reference as shown below? This option would be really nice to have if we need to create reference controls for many terminals.

Also why label this control reference as "Numeric 2" while my original control was labeled "Numeric"? I am anyway going to delete that "2" and have a one-to-one correspondence of the reference control to the control itself. Are there any good reasons to justify the current behavior?
