I am using the module together with a entity reference field which could reference to a big number of different entities ( > 10). Also I have checked the "Create" link setting and now I see one create link for each entity which means a lot of links :(
I have a suggestion to group the links in a drop down when they exceed a predefined number.

I prepare a patch which use the ctools dropbutton to convert the references dialog links to a dropdown when the links are more then 3. The threshold number is exposed as a varaible called references_dialog_links_threshold.

By request from boyan.borisov, I've made the adjustment to only wrap the create links, without the search content link. Please do not credit me for this change.

Had a problem related to #2315905: Recoverable fatal error: Argument 3 passed to l() must be an array, string given with references_dialog. Here is a fixed version.

Ultra-handy patch! Let's improve it further by replacing ctools' dropbutton by ctools' dropdown:
