Isn't that the way we use MARC 7XX$a$t now, with the relationship in a
5XX note?  Field 740 has 2nd indicator "2" to distinguish an analytic
from a related work, but not 700 or 710 $a$t.  The relationship
subfield you suggest would be something new.  But to me, such entries
for related works/expressions/manifestations would more at home in
MARC 7XX than 6XX.   The same authority can serve as the basis for
either.
