We currently have our own employees in the User database, and a separate database for externals that dont need an account, but that we want to track (for example for asset management or travel documentation). For these people we made an “external people” database.
Main problem we find is that this requires several fields for assigning people, which can be tedious for filtering or selecting.
Is there anyway to setup mixed-relations? So that we can filter and attach on name in multiple databases? Or is there another preferred way of executing the functionality we are looking for?

Unfortunately it is not possible to set several databases for a single relation. We do have such plans, but I think it will be done next year only.
Technically you can manage External People via User database as well (Guests are free), but not sure it will be a better option.

Good to hear that the feature is under development. At least there will be something in the long run.
We were considering adding them ass guests, but having an actual account is not always desired if its just for internal documentation.
We were also considering creating a generic person database, and automatically adding new accounts to that, syncing their settings, but it feels convoluted to do so, as it would just duplicate a lot of the data thats already in the users section.
Thank you for the clarification, well further explore our preferred method. This has been helpful
