Select existing or create new dictionary item

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
At the moment the dictionary button on properties in settings always expect to create a new dictionary items, but sometimes you just want to select an existing dictionary item, where it could show a dictionary (tree) picker instead.

Describe the solution you'd like
Maybe it could show two options in the overlay first: "Create new" and "Use existing". When entering both of these "views" it could show a "back" button to change what you want to do.

If the value of the property starts with # is could option the dictionary item view to edit this, but the option to go back to overview and select "Create new".

It requires an extra click, but it prevent the developer to navigate away (loose context) to create new dictionary items (think infinite editing).

@bjarnef FYI, if the input contains a string starting # it will edit the dictionary item with that key so that can be any pre-exitsing key. Also, if you enter a key that doesn't exist, it will ask if you want to create a new one with that key. Lastly, if the string doesn't start with a # it will ask if you want to change that value into a dictionary entry and assign an automatic key that you can change if you want in the dialog.

I think the only time the picker might work is if someone just clicks the dictionary icon when there is no value in the text box, then you could assume that they want to choose one.

@mattbrailsford sometimes the input has a value and you want to use a dictionary item that exists, but can't remember the name of that, so you have to go back to e.g. translation section to find the name (or create a new dictionary item).

I also noticed the overlay doesn't close on esc key. The close button is probably missing shortcut="esc".

@bjarnef fair point 👍

Side note, I appreciate that you are finding issues are you go along, but can you try and make sure each issue is focused on 1 item at a time. Sure the esc shortcut is linked to the dictionary input field, but it's not linked to the title of this issue "Select existing or create new dictionary items". I know it's small, but it stops the discussions going off on tangents.
