Well, you've figured out a lot more about this than I ever knew. But, if
your only real problem is getting the dimension to attach to a particular
reference in a set, there's a couple things you can do. First you could
'Remove' edge references, starting at the top, until you get to the edge
reference you want to 'Show' the value, then add them back; they'll go to
the end of the list. Or, instead of making a single set with multiple
references, make several sets, each of which will show its own dim refs.
This might be the simplest way as it involves NOT doing something, i.e.,
not
holding down the Ctrl key.
