I understand for non-trivial relationships custom editors would be
useful. Set driven keys is a perfect example. We're not really talking
about that though. We're talking about membership of a container where
its a one to one relationship. 1 set to 1 object. Its either a member
or not. I equivocate it to a parent-child relationship. Which you can
do in the Outliner. Hope this can be considered for workflow
enhancements in the future.

Coming from softimage, you expect to do everything in the

scene hierarchy), and then there is the Relationship Editor for
connections, sets, driven keys, everything that's relationships.
It's unified and consistent in that way.
it's possible that in the future Maya's Outliner will be more like
XSI's explorer but that doesn't help you right now so I don't preface
my posts with theoretical blah blah blahs.
We started to introduce something like relationship editors later in
Softimage's life with the XSI Explorer, set driven key, keyable
parameter editor, etc. Rejean was a big fan of having views with two
Explorers side-by-side like Maya's relationship editors.
