Lots of good ideas/suggestions here.  
I can think that there are (at least) two ways of looking at it.

1. It can be useful for relationships to have properties themselves. So for example, a relation to an organisation could have a checkbox to indicate that it is ‘current’.  
See here:  
[Relationship properties](https://community.fibery.io/t/relationship-properties/887)  
although this did not explicitly mention the exact use case being discussed here.

2. An entity has a history, and sometimes it’s useful for other items to link to a specific historical version of an entity rather than the current one.
