You might want to try this:
- Create a new custom metadata field (multi-line text).
- When you review a document, add relevant people’s names to that field, one in each line. You can make your own script to eliminate the bother of opening and typing in the inspector, or pull names automatically from somewhere in the document.
- Create a number of smart groups in the people’s names. Set the criteria of each to e.g.
custom metadata field > matches > Vera Rubin. - Delete names from the aliases of your documents, so the wikilinks always point to a smart group bearing the person’s name.
One good thing about smart groups is they don’t create additional structure in your database.
