Now I see two ways to implement this feature:

1. Make hyper link which offers to create missing file and make him visible in popup menu:
!CreateFileHyperlink.png!

But for this we have to have our own copy of follow WTP classes: StructuredDocumentDamagerRepairer, StructuredTextMultiPassContentFormatter, StructuredTextViewerConfiguration, StructuredTextViewerConfigurationXML, StructuredTextViewerUndoManager and PresentationCollector

That's because Eclipse by default shows hyperlinks in popup menu only if numbers of hyperlinks for current region more then 1. But our hyperlink makes sense only if it is shown in popup menu in order to inform user before creating missing file

2. Make hyperlink which shows dialog before file:
!Question.png!

Max, what do you think?

> When Ctrl+clicking on app.js in this snippet:
> <script type="text/javascript" src="js/app.js"></script>
> And the file js/app.js does not exist eclipse just "blinks".
> Better if we could offer creating the file, even just a blank/empty one.
> The same goes for image and css references, all those would be nice not having to go through the full ctrl+N wizard to just create such files.
