MODS doesn't make the main entry/added entry distinction, so it's
100/700$a with $t. Yes, noone uses 100$t. It could be a name/uniform title
or a name/some other title. The project here is used relatedItem to do
sort of subrecords for constituent items within the larger item and would
like a way to bind together name and title outside of relatedItem, similar
to 700$a with $t.
