See https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1441790 Can't those various element have a remark about this? Like "This Launcher can shoot this and that Projectile" "This Projectile can be shot in this and that Launcher"? Maybe that'd help, but yes, more work... The remarks/additional notes are just "dumb" text boxes. They can't be updated automatically and are not even searchable, so we would have to constantly maintain and remember such remarks and several entries would need to be updated manually whenever a new part that can be used with existing parts gets added to the catalog. So yeah, too much work I'm afraid. On the other hand, at least for the weapons and projectile launchers, you can also use the parts inventories to find out which parts can be used with which trigger: https://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemIn.asp?P=15392&in=P https://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemIn.asp?P=69755&in=P
