Please add ability to tag already attached sources for relationships

Please add the ability to tag already attached sources when adding sources for relationships--like FS allows you to do for vitals and events--instead of making me copy the source to my Source Box and then linking it to the relationship or relationship event.

    This is definitely an idea I can get behind. I find wills that name children, mother-in-law, spouses, you name it. For me to properly put this in the entire family, I have to do it one person at a time. Usually I am on a roll with a specific research goal and I don't usually take the time to go to each person page, add the source from my source box, click through the reason box (why is it necessary to have that? Source linker, when it works, doesn't require that.).

    However when I am managing memories, say uploading photos with groups of people, I will definitely keep a separate tab open to grab PIDs and add the tag. I note there is no reason box I have to fill out as to why I've tagged a person in this image or document.


    Also, going back after the fact is very different. In memories, if I got interrupted, I go back to the photo or image and resume tagging JUST as I was prior. With sources, I have to search my source box, unless source linker was involved. In my will scenario, if I go back to add the will to the remaining children who are named, I first have to go to a person with that source so I can see the name of it, then I have to go to a child who needs that source and then search my source box. Very clunky.
