For more context: Apparently, someone else has had a similar use case a couple months back.
I’m mentioning it because there was another interesting point made in that thread:
Being able to specify the type of link (related to, reference for, etc.) could be another great addition for managing multiple links between items in DT.
Thinking this idea a bit further, there could then in the Outgoing Links/Incoming Links inspector be an option to filter the displayed links based on their link type
