= Description =
When using 'new/Linked File', it would be nice to be able to select several files at a time.

= Resolution proposal =
* Modify class org.eclipse.sphinx.emf.workspace.ui.wizards.pages.CreateLinkedResourceGroup:
 - Change style of FileDialog to SWT.MULTI and edit other relevant methods to return list of selected files.
 - The selected files are displayed in "linkTargetField" and separated by ";"
* Modify class org.eclipse.sphinx.emf.workspace.ui.wizards.pages.LinkedFileCreationMainPage
 - Update createNewFile() method to allow create multi linked files
 - Update validatePage() method to validate all selected files and return Error status if having any file is invalid.
* Create new class: PathVariableSelectionDialog on sphinx to support selecting several variable paths because org.eclipse.ui.ide.dialogs.PathVariableSelectionDialog is only support single selection.

I will create a patch file for this solution later.

The Patch file will be coming soon!
Thanks!

And in case the "Link target" does not exist, should return Error status instead of Warning status to prevent creating a new linked resource with an invalid link target.
