There are a few entries in the official HSK list that are missing from the CC-CEDICT. Most are short expressions such as 系领带 and 踢足球, but 只有 is a word and should therefore be included in the dictionary.
----------------------------------

Editor:
1) Even though 只有 is in dictionaries, arguably it's best to understand it as simply 只+有 rather than attempt to encompass its usage in various contexts with five or more different glosses.
2) Glosses like "only" and "alone" and "forced" are ambiguous, whereas 只有 is pretty transparent.
3) The "only if" sense relates to a two-part construction (such as 只有...才) rather than just 只有.
4) In situations where 只有 is used, there is nobody "forcing" you to do something. It's just that *there is only* (只有) that option.

1) /(politics) strongman/

可是美國毫不保留地支持強人葉爾辛,
Yet the US unreservedly supports the strongman Yeltsin,

鄧小平成了中共體制下的最後一個「強人」,
Thus Deng is the last of the CCP strongmen.

歷經軍事強人蘇慕沙、一九七九年左派社會主義路線的桑定政權執政,
After the military strongman Somoza was toppled in 1979,


2) /(in the workplace, esp. of a woman) a highly capable person/

職場女強人的政治春天 ──交通部長葉菊蘭
Minister of Transportation and Communications Yeh Chu-lan

四十六歲仍然單身的姜小姐就是一個例子。曾經在惠普、德州儀器等外商科技公司擔任公關經理的姜小姐,一直是職場上幹練光鮮的女強人。
Ms. Chiang, still single at 46, is an example. When she worked as a PR manager for foreign companies such as Hewlett-Packard and Texas Instruments, she was always the highly effective superwoman.

在學校裡弱不禁風的女孩,可能進入職場遇到伯樂而成為女強人;
A girl who in school seemed so fragile that she might have been shattered by a gust of wind, might well metamorphose into a female powerhouse in the workplace.

Editor:

"in one's mind" is a bit ambiguous. For example, "in one's mind" can be as in this example: "the plot for the novel gradually developed in my mind." That is, it describes where the *thought processes* happen, whereas 心目中 describes where one has a *mental conception* of something. The former is dynamic; the latter is static.

And "in one's heart" is used when one is secretly sure about something although one may not admit it. (e.g. "In his heart he knew she was right.") That doesn't seem to be what 心目中 means.

Examples ~

由他們的前院眺望,是許多鐵道迷心目中的第一號名景
The view from the front yard is the most famous among Taiwan railway buffs

一位計程車司機眼見心目中向來活力十足、健步如飛的林衡道,居然已如此老態,
A taxi driver, seeing Lin Heng-tao-whom he had always thought of as a man of boundless energy who walked briskly and with firm steps-so old and frail,

並不是他心目中理想的古典電台
falls short of his ideal for a classical music station

新聞記者不再是人們心目中具有崇高理想、仗義直言、公正信實的人。
people feel that reporters no longer have high ideals, no longer speak the truth without thought of the cost to themselves, and are no longer fair-minded or trustworthy.

Editor: Julien ~ "I'd personally accept it as a set phrase."
OK.

However, the definition
1. appears to be copied from another dictionary (it's exactly ABC says, for example)
2. is incomplete, since it doesn't account for the following sort of usage

實驗法:例如消費者不妨拿市售便當去曬太陽,若是擺一天都不壞,或麵包擺上三、四天不長霉,就表示有問題。
Do an experiment: Buy a take-away meal and put it out in the sun. If it hasn't spoiled after a day, or if bread hasn't gotten moldy after three or four days, there could be a problem.

必須慢慢陰乾,不能曬太陽也不能吹風,
[Ink sticks] have to be dried slowly in the shade rather than in the sun or with a fan.

--------------

Also, "sunbathe" doesn't have a hyphen according to Merriam-Webster, American Heritage, Oxord, and Wiktionary.

# 曬太陽 晒太阳 [shai4 tai4 yang2] /sun-bathe/bask in the sun/

「這樣的夢想可以讓人無視於工時長、沒有休閒娛樂、必須處處提防的治安問題,還有管理工廠時面對不同文化的適應問題。如果對事業沒有相當執著,誰能受得了?」
"This dream allows us to put up with the long hours, the tedium, the lack of vacations and the danger from crime. We also have to deal with the culture clash while managing the factory. If you weren't reaching for something, how could you put up with it all?"

都市裡養寵物並不方便,相信也很少有房東可以受得了房客養十幾隻貓。
Keeping pets in the city is inconvenient enough, but Chao-hua believes that very few landlords would be willing to put up with a tenant owning so many cats

爸媽一方面不捨,認為念軍校很苦,一個十七、八歲的孩子怎麼可能受得了;
My parents were reluctant to let me go, since they thought that the academy might be too harsh for a kid in his late teens,
