| Why is this part under the Bar category:
but this very similar one is (rightfully so) under Projectile Launcher?
Meanwhile both of their respective bricks are under Projectile Launcher:
Also, how come there aren't relationships that match projectiles with their
compatible launchers, and vice versa? I feel like that would be useful.

Everything you said makes 100% sense. 61680 should be moved to the Projectile
category, and projectiles + compatible launchers relationships should be added.

To have a relationship like that, we would need to have two separate categories
for the projectiles and the projectile launchers similar to having two separate
categories for tires and wheels. This is something that can be discussed and
would only occur during a major catalog move cycle.

It is even used in two parts of the previous example:

"Parts that Belong Together" is a flat 1:1 relationship, so it only makes
sense on items that only work with one other item and nothing else. It can't
do many:many. To do this properly, we would need a many:many relationship because
multiple projectiles can be used with multiple launchers.
