Facilitate 'Relationships' to split authors

I may be missing a trick, but when the target of a relationship entry is split there doesn't seem to be a way to indicate which of the authors is correct: clicking on the entry takes you to the disambiguation page.

Does anyone have a work-around?

To give an example :

There is one Robert Merle on the site.
There are, however, two Pierre Merle : Pierre Merle(1) and Pierre Merle (2). Pierre Merle (2), but not (1), is the son of Robert Merle.
I tried to enter this relationship in Common Knowledge.
In the CK of Pierre Merle (2), no problem. I just enter "Merle, Robert (father)" and there you go.
But is there a way to do it in Robert Merle's CK? "Merle, Pierre (son)" points to the disambiguation page. Same with "Merle, Pierre (2) (son)".

Needing this feature to allow a relationship to be established between spouses Sarah Edwards (1) and Paul Edwards (2).

Any progress on this? Hmmm?

I'm finding that this remains unsolved.

Today's puzzle: Trying to link Ann Mitchell (4) with Andy Mitchell (2) (parent-child relationship).

Bump.

Puzzle of the day: linking Gayle Pirie to her partner John Clark (51).

>6 hipdeep: I've added a 51 in brackets as a way to point to which John Clark it is (someone recommended that way, elsewhere) even if that doesn't directly get there as a link. A direct link can be done in the short biography field, so I've done that too with a quick sentence – feel free to reword or expand that if you like.
