We could, but we should not link it to the frameworks by default.
If you import a record with a value not in the list, on saving the information
in $2 will otherwise be lost and leave you with a $a you can't identify.

We do link now... ? Not sure what the difference would be. 

Another idea: we could move the include file with the link construction to a
YAML style pref. 
That way people could easily add more and their own.
