Fix how reference shortcuts on alias shortcuts work in FM

You create a query subject from a database table. Then you create an alias shortcut on that query subject. On this alias shortcut you add relationships to other query subjects/shortcuts. After that you create a reference shortcut on the alias shortcut.

And here lies the problem: This reference shortcut directly points to the query subject instead of the alias shortcut which you would normally expect. You can see this when you click on "go to target" in the right click menu on the reference shortcut: It goes directly to the query subject.


This should be changed so that you can create reference shortcuts on alias shortcuts that actually point to the alias shortcuts and not the query subjects. Otherwise you have to create a query subject instead of the alias shortcut. So you have a query subject, a query subject on the other one with the relationships and then a reference shortcut on top.

The problem with this workaround is, that you have to manually translate all query subjects and query items. So you have to do it once for the query subject and once for the query subject that is based on the other one.

Also the way it is currently implemented is not very intuitive. I would expect a shortcut I create on another Object to be a reference to it - and not to the target of it.
