Subject: [TMG] Wish list - primary or unique citation

Does version 6 has the ability to mark a citation as primary or unique?

Want to mark (in birth, marriage, death tags) one citation for output. If I can designate a primary citation for a tag, then my problem is solved. I know I can exclude citations.

If I can have a primary or unique citation then I can have 3 levels of citations to consider for output:
Level 1. primary (only one citation)
Level 2. primary, other included citations
Level 3. primary, other included citations, excluded citations

As far as I can determine, the only way to do this currently is to create another tag with one citation and output that tag. Although this option is not my first choice, it is less time consuming than going into each tag and marking all but one citation for exclusion. I know I can mark sources for exclusion using John's TMG Utility.

This request is for the opposite approach... designate ONE citation as primary or unique instead of excluding all but one citation.

If there is a way to currently achieve this, I would really like to know how it might be done in a timely fashion.
