Is there a way to configure a lookup table so that a value in it is not REQUIRED by the referencing table?

See the 'lookup table' custom form about halfway down the page.
I think with this form you could set it up any way you wanted. But you would have to customize it, I think.

If the lookup is on a single field, then a drop-own list might be an option.
Even if the list is automatically populated by a table, it is relatively easy to add items to that table using a little code; so if the user types in a value that doesn't currently appear in the list, it is available next time.
