Description
Hi,
Is it possible, as in Excel, to get the reference of a cell "on click" when editing or creating a formula in another cell (to avoid having to explicitly type the cell reference)? At the moment, it ends the formula edition and display #ERROR.
Maybe it can be done using event but wanted to check if I missed anything first.
Thanks.

Research direction
Start by tracing the spreadsheet's formula-editing flow and the handling of cell clicks while a formula is active. Check how the current interaction ends formula editing and produces #ERROR. Done means selecting a cell during formula creation or editing inserts its reference without prematurely ending the formula, with the behavior verified in the relevant interaction tests.
