Feature request: naming 'related' instances #153

Would it be possible to assign names to instances of related items and see them as a list (e.g. as we would for individual items)? For example, I sometimes work with and reference 'toolkits' which are composed of an assortment of several separate PDFs and document types which share a common relationship, but are recorded and cited separately. Some of these individual documents have titles which do not contain any reference to the toolkit name (e.g. 'Project Fieldwork Guide' or 'Fieldwork Templates').

I have quite a few of these kinds of collections of documents, so it would be helpful to be able to review these singly. At the moment, for example, I add a 'toolkit' tag to these kinds of items, but this just returns the individual, named documents - it doesn't necessarily help me to identify the relational name between them. There is a kind of work-around I could implement using pseudo items in Zotero, but requesting this feature would seem to be tidier and more appropriate.
