Feature or enhancement

I thought it could be great to include the option of choosing and adding multiple OTUs to an entry of a couplet in the Dichotomous key. At this stage, only one OTU is possible. For instance, in the image below, in the left panel, I would have loved to add also more subfamilies other than Eristalinae.

@DavideDalPos Interesting use-case, un-named clades. At present I don't anticipate adding this for a while but it's certainly a good issue. The TaxonWorky approach would be to make a place-holder OTU with name "Aidae, Bidae, Cidae" with some Content as to why this concept exists.

If I'm interpreting the screenshot correctly, it looks like this relates to #4145 as well, where otu(s) are being used to indicate intermediate progress, in this case at subfamily(ies) on the way from family to genus.
