Change default value 'What to look in' of "Create Link"-Editor

When a link is created from an artifact within a module with the 'Create Link' dialog, the default selection for 'What to look in' is 'Folders'. Actually, the user want to create a link in modules. Therefore, the user has to change the selection to 'Modules' each time. Specially for a inexperienced user this switch is not clear.
In our module the authors have created the links via drag and drop and the dialog. This causes different link types (see attached screenshot).

We would like to suggest you to change the default selection of the dialog to 'Modules'.

Although we are closing this request, it will be kept in IBM's ideas repository.  We value your feedback and thank you for allowing us to partner with you in developing our products.

    This request may not be delivered within the release currently under development, but the theme is aligned with the current multi-year strategy. IBM may consider and evaluate any RFE Community feedback for this request through activities such as voting. IBM will update this request in the future.

    Hello,

    Can we have an update on this feature pls?

    Maybe an admin option in RQM or DNG to pre-select module could work?

    Thank you!

    @rosema, in reply to comment 3

    Changing the default to Module would impact all users. While ex-DOORS users would prefer this option, we have a lot of clients already using this dialog.

    I can talk to our Designer and see what he thinks of the options

    @kgrotjohn What are your thoughts please?

    We remember "module" within a session but not in general.

    I would prefer we either:

    - Preserve this option for the current user across sessions
    - Change the default. The majority of our clients are now Module users although I'm nervous we upset the non-module users.
    - Default to "Module" if the dialog has been instigated from a module artifact - I think this might prove difficult if we find the dialog is raised as the results of an OSLC call
