<div>I have a postgis table for historical events, which can
be of any geometrical type.</div>
<div>The events can have links to other events (using
references like previous_event_id).</div>
<div>Currently, I have to add the postgis table four times.
Once for each geometry type, plus once as a no-geometry
table so that I can have the full attribute table to be able
to use the relations widget.</div>
<div>At this point, every setting (filtering, labels, actions,

In general I think that we end up defining different symbols for
different geometries anyway, i do not see how a point and an area
can have the <br>
same simbology; also there are specific postgis functions that make
sense to use for specific geometry (i.e. ST_Area).<br>
I do not want to say that i'm against the idea of mixing geometries,
but to me it sounds a bit like loading "varchar" and "float" in the
same column<br>
and eventually ending introducing more complications than benefits,
just my opinion,<br>
