Currently it is necessary to close the field calc, while writing an expression, to display the fields and values of the layers called

It is a good idea - but it shouldn't result in a big slowdown of the expression editor while retrieving attributes of dozens of layers.

If implemented, it should use some "on-demand" loading of such attributes only for layers of interest (e.g. when unfolding a selected layer in the the layer list), and not "pre-populate" all layers with all attributes.

Molto interessante!
