Global Loot Tables

[nazwadi]

Issue:
Currently there is no way to add pre-existing lootdrop tables to the loottable_entries of a global loottable. It only allows you to create new ones. This feature request is to provide the options for searching by name or entering an existing lootdrop ID

Discussion:
When we want to add a lootdrop to a loottable for a single NPC, we do the following:

1. Click the yellow + icon next to the label that reads, Lootdrops associated with this loottable:
   
2. Decide an option from one of the following:

• Search for a Lootdrop by Name
• Enter a Lootdrop ID
• Create a New Lootdrop
  .

For Global Loot, when we want to add a lootdrop to a loottable, we do the following:

1. Click the yellow + icon next to the label that reads, Lootdrops associated with this loottable:
   

2. It assumes "Create a New Lootdrop", and takes us straight to the template for "Add New Lootdrop".

Doing this, allows me to run a database query to add existing lootdrop tables:

INSERT INTO loottable_entries (loottable_id, lootdrop_id, multiplier, droplimit, mindrop, probability)
VALUES ('110562', '7638633', '1', '1', '0', '10');

using the peqphpeditor interface instead of switching to a SQL client.

I intend to work on this feature myself, but adding this issue here for transparency/feedback. Am I not considering a limitation in how global drops are supposed to work?

Bringing in @mackal for discussion just in case.

I don't see any issues. Risk of orphans across loottables is my only immediate thought.
