Fair enough, drugref will just have to lump it with the others.

Why this limitation? If the bottom line can represent any line in any of the 
other editareas, we allow the user
to perform any clinical action from one spot: a massive time-saving, as the 
user keeps her fingers on the keyboard the whole time,
and a nice fusion of recording and performing clinical actions (a dichotomy we 
do not need to inherit from the paper system)
