Hello TMS Users!

A quick query: how do others record/structure information when borrowing
an Object through a 3rd party? As it's only possible to assign a role to
a Constituent at the Object level to describe this ('agent'?) we've been
creating additional Constituent records for individuals where they
perform this role, adding 'PC C/O' (Private Collector Care Of) to the
'display name'. This would lead, for example, to the creation of a
constituent record for 'Jasper Johns' and one for 'Jasper Johns PC C/O'
with the latter used where Jasper Johns is the 3rd party through whom an
Object is lent anonymoulsy. Any thoughts?! 

Thanks
Jon
