Usage: After we have Created an Item in List/Library we can simply add a reference to another Item or a document in any List\Library as a related entity to this Item using Related Items column.
By default this Column is Hidden (exists in _Hidden Group) and not listed in Site Columns.You can change the group from _Hidden to any Custom Group.

Column” Category under Site Columns.
We had changed Related Columns Category. Now, we can add this
