Relation collections

i have this idea where users could collect relationships.
similar to a collection where you could add an artist or an event or a release. we could add a relationship between mutliple items.

on the creation screen of the relation collection you would need to add the 2 times where you want the collection to be about.

to add items to the relation collection we should add something in the right bottom corner (next to the collection stuff). clicking on "add to relation collection) it will give you al relation type popup where you get a list of the option for the other item.

for instance:
you create a relation collection between artist & event.
if you go the the artist page and you click on the “add to relation collection” button you get a list of all the events the artist played at.
if you would start in the other direction and you go to the event. if you then press on the “add to relation collection” you would get a list of all the artists that play at the event.

the only downside about these relation collections is that they can get broken.
for instance if i have a relation between “{artist}” and “{festival} {year}” and afterwards more info get added to the event and the artist gets moved to “{festival} {year}, {day}: {stage}”
this would mean thart the relation you first added to your collection doesn’t exist anymore. although it is not a really big issue since the artist still played at that festival. so the data is technically still correct

i currently only have one usecase for this. but maybe others will find this usefull aswel.
