We plan to allow adding such relation manually, that is connect original with 
result and allow a free-text description.
There were some idea to provide a copy, start gimp on it, and add the relation 
automatically when gimp closed.

Yes, multiple parents is possible. In the easiest case, there is a list of 
source photos for a single image. It's a bit difficult to display that in a 
treeview, because it's no more a strict tree, but the backend should be 
prepared.
