Description Eugene Kuleshov

By allowing selecting queries (along with repositories) as a starting point for "new repository" task, "new query" and "add existing task" we can allow to pass the current context to all those actions.

For web connector it would also allow us to eliminate redundant repository configuration, so new or existing tasks can be created starting from the web query (which url will be pretty much the same as the repository url). Then we could have just one implicit web repository.

What would the UI look like, something like this?

  Select repository:
    [list of repositories]
  or use parameters from an existing query:
    [list of queries]

I'd suggest to use something simplier:

 Select repository/query:
   [list of queries]
   ------------
   [list of repositories]

I wonder if we even need to show repositories if there is at least one query, so dumping them to the bottom of the list is probably makes sense...

We are trying to keep queries and repositories orthogonal in order to maintain simplicity in the UI.  We should revisit this (and other reports marked for LATER) post 1.0.
