Display differentiation information for link relationships in JRS report builder

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

Sometimes link relationships can be duplicated in the JRS report building wizard and this can lead to user frustration and confusion. For example, if a report scope includes both an RM and a QM project area, there can be two different Validated By link relationships offered to the user as they build the trace relationships, where one Validated By comes from QM and the other comes from RM. If a report designer chooses the QM Validated By link relationship to explore links that begin at a Requirement and go to a Test Case, no results will be displayed from the report. However, if the report designer chooses the RM Validated By link relationship, then expected results will be displayed. However, there is no visual difference between the two link options in the JRS web UI. This very situation occurred for my team and we spent over an hour trying to figure out why the report wasn't working. What I am requesting is more information about the link relationship, for example, which project area and component it is associated with. This could manifest directly in the UI as a parenthetical reference after the link relationship name, or as a tooltip. Any solution would be helpful for disambiguating identically named link relationships in the JRS report builder wizard.
