Easy two-way linking of related items (suggestion)

I understand that linking related items is one-way by default, but the majority of the time, I want to have 2 way links. Creating two way links is a bit tedious. I first go to create the first link which involved editing the item, adding a related item field, searching for the related item, and then saving the edits. Then I use that link to go to the related item and repeat the same steps to edit that item. If I'm making a lot of links (say to a new credit card), then it can be easy to miss one.

How about adding a button when editing that says "make link 2-way" (or something to that effect). Where the yellow box is in the following image:

Alternatively, when I go to choose the related item on the second item to make the reverse link you would add a "suggested links".

Though the later options sounds more annoying to implement given that you'd have to find the link that points the opposite direction first in order to suggest it.
