Related entries: parent, children—what about siblings?

Further to this thread, I would suggest that the related entries and reverse related entries tags can be nested, or a different method be devised to display the “siblings” of an entry, as it were.

Let me explain: I have one “parent” entry with a number of “children”; linking from the parent to each child, or from each child to the parent is easy. I would now like to link from Child A to Child B directly, without going via the parent (because Child A -> Parent -> Child B is easy, of course.)

Nesting these tags did not produce the expected results. Thanks for taking this into consideration.

Exactly what I’ve been trying to figure out for hours (see this thread: Display all entries related to parent relationship), would be really much easier with the ability to display siblings.

Testing out the plugin, but I still think this is a feature that should be in the core.

*prays for seeing it on 2.0*
