JSM Assets: linking an object multiple times

Question

I have an object type in the assets manager with an attribute that refers to another object type. I would like the other object to appear in this attribute multiple times. In other words, I would like a one-to-one relationship to repeat within the attribute. Changing the cardinality allows me only to link more than one different object within the attribute.

@Dirk Ronsmans - reposting bc I meant to add this as a reply and not an answer.

Voting as this would be useful my use-case as well. Basically, we have one system which could have up to 4 components in it, since these components all have very different capabilities they are all tracked as separate object types. Right now, we have to map each individual component back to the system with their own attribute of aux 1, aux 2, aux 3, and aux 4.

Optimally, we'd be able to make 4 aux attributes linked to n number of object types where we can just track the aux location and mapping in one spot.

It's cumbersome, albeit doable, to update multiple object types (aux components) and their attributes separate from the mapping of the system back to the components.

Likewise here.

We'd like to demonstrate in "functions", the number of times a given product is needed. Thus we would like to have the possibility to link the same object several times.
