I guess you could try embedded citations there. That might be a good
addition to request.

Well, the M is for the Memo that applies to the principal person(s).

I have event tags that have witnesses where each witness is documented
by a separate source. For example, the coronation of Edward II. Quite
a few of my ancestors were there, but I don't have a source that has
them all listed in one place. The sources are about the individual
ancestor, and they mention that he/she was present or even did something
like carry the septre or the King's sword, etc., that I'd like in the
WM, so I put it there and then just have a huge list of sources for the
tag as a whole, but it would be nicer to be able to specify which source
went with which witness & WM.
