(First draft, complete file structure not covered yet)

• The <reverse-related> element connects the a card to a current token. Main Case
  It lists a card or token, which the parent token can be created from - its source.
  
  That way Cockatrice can pick the information up and displays the correct token in the right-click menu of a card; Cockatrice will create a single copy of that token when clicked. This information is placed at the end of the token's <card> element and contains card names that create that particular token, as well as information about the created quantity.
  This is the most-used case as it allows to link external cards/token creators to the in this file described token details:
  Token <---(reverse-related)--- Card

  <!-- right clicking the named card will allow you to create the parent token: "Goblin" -->
  <reverse-related>Goblin Instigator</reverse-related>

  • You can adjust the quantity of tokens that are created to match the card's need:

    <!-- no count / one token will be created -->
    <reverse-related>Goblin Instigator</reverse-related>
    
    <!-- count "2" / two tokens will be created -->
    <reverse-related count="2">Goblin Marshal</reverse-related>
    
    <!-- count "x" / dialog box will ask how many. The minimum number that Cockatrice will display is 1. -->
    <reverse-related count="x">Goblin Goliath</reverse-related>
    
    <!-- count "x=2" / dialog box will ask how many, 2 pre set as default -->
    <reverse-related count="x=2">Goblin Gathering</reverse-related>

  • Exclude certain token relations from the create All tokens option

    <!-- "exclude" defined / the all token option will only create 2 tokens, not 2+4 -->
    <reverse-related count="2">Grizzly Fate</reverse-related>
    <reverse-related count="4" exclude="exclude">Grizzly Fate</reverse-related>

    In contrast, the option will create 3 different tokens at once for Bestial Menace, Somberwald Beastmaster or Trostani's Summoner as none of their <reverse-related> entries are marked for exclusion.
  • If the card should attach itself to the token, use the attach attribute

    <!-- Living weapon examples. The token is a 0/0 germ -->
    <reverse-related attach="attach">Batterbone</reverse-related>
    <reverse-related attach="attach">Batterskull</reverse-related>
    <reverse-related attach="attach">Bonehoard</reverse-related>
    <reverse-related attach="attach">Flayer Husk</reverse-related>

• The <related> element connects a token source to the created token, instead of the created token to the token source.
  This is only used where a token (e.g. an Emblem) creates another token:
  Token ---(related)---> Token

  <!-- right clicking the parent token will allow you to create the named token: "Kraken" -->
  <related>Kraken</related>

  _{There is no functional difference between correct usage of <related> and <reverse-related>, but some might consider it lazy.}
