Using a Web Content structure that has a "Document Library" field :

When a user creates a new web content using this structure, to attach a file via the Document Library field, the file must already be uploaded in the Document Library.

I think it would be more friendly to provide ability to upload a document while creating the web content, i.e. when the user clicks on "select" and gets to browse the library, there should be an option to upload from computer in the Library here.

For example, under "Documents" title in each folder, adding a link "Upload document here" wich is a simple html form upload.

The way it is for now forces a user to separately upload a doc in the library, prior to creating the web content, and that's not what a user wants.
