It might.

I can see your point. And I must admit that the first
category I would search for this part under would be
"Train". - Which certainly implies that "train" at least
should be a keyword for the part.

Sort of. In principle (can you write that in English?) it
should be in the "Wedge" category. But since I know that it
isn't the first place I would search for it myself, I am
open to place it elsewhere (read: in the "Train" category).

I think we have to play some tricks (or cheat for the sake
of "user friendliness") to have them show up together. It
seems like it is time to suggest a new field for the part
file heads; "ASSOCIATE". It should be used by editors to
automatically show the parts listed in the "ASSOCIATE" field
of a part, so it is easier for the user to find parts
relevant to the last most recently inserted part.
Play well,
