Attribute Assistant: Can you get a max area intersecting feature's value?

I have:

1.Land use/land cover (LULC) layer of polyogns (has field of LULC type like Cropland, Insitutional, Etc.)

2. Best management practice (BMP) layer of polygons

Situation:

The BMP layer has a Pre-LULC field to show the before land use and a Post-BMP-LULC field to show the after land use.  The Pre-LULC field is for one main value of the max area's intersecting LULC code within the BMP layer record's polygon.

Solution Trying to Find:

I use the attribute assistant heavily.  I currently set the BMP layer's Pre-LULC field to prompt the user to pick a LULC code to represent the field.  I would rather have the Pre-LULC field auto-populate with the LULC polygon that intersects the BMP Polygon the most, the max.  Just like when I do a dissovle and I have something dissolve on the max statistic.

Is this possible?  I do not see anything where you can do something like an Intersecting Statistics and get a concat of all the LULC values it intersected but get them something like LULC.Area?  Then, I can filter the max one or something along those lines?

Alternatively, I can create a prompt for the user to pick from all the intersecting land use's.  However, there is a domain on the land use code field on both files and it prompts the user a choice of codes to pick from that don't mean anything to the user?  Is there a way for it to prompt the field's domain descriptions instead of the values?
