I put in a ticket a while back to add “video” as a secondary release group type, as you can have video singles, video albums, and video broadcasts. I feel that makes the most sense, at least in the long term.
I do think music videos should likely have their own release groups, seperate from the audio single for the same song(s), both for the above ticket and partly because some other databases like RYM split them out already. that said, I haven’t been actively splitting release groups yet, since we don’t have a type or a relationship to connect them yet™
I don’t really like this being the solution. there’s (currently) no way to use that to tag a date in Picard, and it doesn’t do anything with the recording’s first release date. since this video has a release attached, it has a first release date in the sidebar, whereas this video doesn’t have any release information on the sidebar
that said, I do quite enjoy adding start dates to URL relationships… I just don’t think that should be the solution
linking a couple related threads, because I just remembered similar previous discussions:
