This is a bit tricky, because a pointer can go in any field, regardless of whether it has a separate picker button attached. I'm contemplating maybe using a keyboard shortcut for it, or holding a specific modifier when focusing the field, or something. There's also the option of putting a button beside every field, but I'm not sure I like that idea. Open to suggestions on the method.

I've never used a pointer in a BoE scenario. So I don't have any suggestions on how this should be, sorry!

You can think of it as something like a "reference to an SDF". If you set pointer 123 to point to SDF (4,9), then when you put -123 into any special node field, the value of SDF (4,9) is substituted in.
