Specify Element for Links panels

Currently, Links panels duplicate if you attempt to apply more than one Links panel on the same template. However, I often like to group links based on their elements. Particularly for things like "culture" where I might have characters who are part of the culture, but I also have several encyclopedia articles or government articles or events pertaining to that culture. To keep the page better organized, it would be great if I could have separate Links panels that focus specifically on one element. Including a tickbox that allows me to specify which elements should load into which Links panel would be really helpful!

And while the topic is on, it would be good to have the option of making single way links instead of two way links.
Say my event template has a link panel where I list the characters involved, and 12 events feature the same character. I'd like each event to link to the character, but I don't necessarily want the link panel of the character's page to be populated with those 12 events. Especially if I can't make a link panel specific to the events they're involved in.
Oh, and thank you for the hard work. I really appreciate the soft.

I agree with Elsa. It would be good that links are not replicated in all link panels of an element. That way, it would be possible to organise the links. For instance in an event element, it would be possible to create a link panel for the location, another one for the characters, ...

That's it. Thank you!

Maybe it doesn't solve everything, but I have found that you can have your different panels (e.g. Characters, Locations, ...), and while the links will indeed be duplicated, you can add different filters to each of them, so you will only see the character links in the character panel, the location links in the Location panel, ... To add filters, after you've added a first link, you open the "3 dots" menu of the link panel and select "Show Filters". I hope it helps.

Just to be clear, the current filter options aren't working for you, you want to be able to link multiple elements but only show one per panel? Making sure I understand this one before I make any notes about it!

Sorry I didn't get a notification you responded. I want to be able to have multiple links panels on one template. Links A might be for just characters. Links B might be for encyclopedia pages. Right now if I have Links 1 and Links 2 on the same template, Links 2 auto populates with links from Links 1.
Does that make more sense?
