--- Comment #3 from Michael Spagnuolo <mspagnuolo at nrhtx.com> ---
Our library migrated from Evergreen which allowed the linking of accounts into
a group. The Koha method of linking accounts by guarantor has taken a little
bit of getting use to, and has required a workaround of the system to get the
functionality we wanted. Currently, our library links multiple adults together
by assigning one account a child patron category named Adult2. Even though
there is no actual guarantor in the relationship, we have to use what Koha has
available. I would like to see a more robust linking system in Koha, along with
the options to customize what libraries can do with that system. 

Right now, for our library, we have two enhancements that would help our
workflows and customer service:
- being able to link multiple adult cards together
- being able to view all linked accounts from the details page

I can see this group linking as a separate system from the guarantor/guarantee
system or an extension. Not sure which way would work better.
