John,

I don't want to get hung-up on just one approach, so I'll give it another
try using Tag level exhibits.

Thanks,

Stan,

I haven't followed this whole thread so I may be rehashing things others
have already said.

Exhibits can be attached to any event tag. I forget if they can be attached
to name tags, and I am pretty sure they cannot be attached to relationship
tags. In practice, an event tag is the most likely tag where you'd want to
attach an exhibit, so that's not much of a limitation.

You can attach exhibits to citations, but the same source information is
often cited many times, and so for a census page, for example, you might
have a dozen citations. In practice, that limits the utility of attaching
exhibits to citations.

For an image of a census page, attaching it as an exhibit to the census
event is the best choice in my opinion. The event can be shared by everyone
listed in the census entry and so that effectively means the exhibit is
shared by those same people. That minimizes the housekeeping of attaching
the exhibit.

John
