I need a selector/picker which is able to pick from both media and content. This is not possible with the build-in Multinode Treepicker as you have to choose which section the picker should operate in.
I have looked for existing packages but have failed to find a solution.
Can the build-in Multinode Treepicker be modified to achieve this? or do I need to make a custom package from scratch?
I was missing some of the "old" features in uComponents package for URL Picker and Multi-URL Picker.

Bjarne's answer pointed med towards Archetype, which I somehow hadn't heard of before.
I wanted a list-view with a consistent user experience for selection and adding media/content/external to the same sort-able list.
With Archetype I was able to create just that! I'm very impressed by how flexible the package is and how easy it is to config.
@bjarne your multi-url picker looks very promising! I like how url, content and media is selected. Will it be sort-able?
Yes, the (multi) UrlPicker will also be sortable like in Archetype. Instead of two separate datatypes (property editors) like it was in uComponents, I just have 1 property editor, where you can set "max items" similar to how it works in Archetype.
Multinode Treepicker (both content and media)

Happy holidays!
Hi Mathias,
Looks like this one may be able to do just that:

Alternatively, you may be able to use the rather flexible nuPickers package, which has tons of options...

Hi Mathias
I know UrlPicker https://our.umbraco.org/projects/backoffice-extensions/urlpicker/ at the moment only support picking one item (url, content or media).
I was missing some of the "old" features in uComponents package for URL Picker and Multi-URL Picker. http://ucomponents.org/data-types/url-picker/ http://ucomponents.org/data-types/multi-url-picker/
So I was experimenting with adding a multi-url picker.. and would like it just had an option to enable if it should allow only a single element og multi elements. https://github.com/bjarnef/uWestFest/tree/dev-multi-url-picker
This is how it looks at the moment .. I think I might re-style it to be similar to the style of Archetype.

You could try and use the UrlPicker (as it is at the moment) https://our.umbraco.org/projects/backoffice-extensions/urlpicker/ inside Archetype or Multi Url Picker if you need multi urls https://our.umbraco.org/projects/backoffice-extensions/multi-url-picker/ ..

Hello,
Archetype is very powerful and perfect for situations like this. You can also try Nested Content: https://our.umbraco.org/projects/backoffice-extensions/nested-content/. It has fewer features, but I prefer the option to use Document Types as blue prints.
