Feature Request: Alternative items and optional accessories. (Retail and Online)

[simonp]

Can we please have the ability to set up 'alternatives' for items. so that a customer or staff member can be prompted if an item they want to buy is unavailable but a suitable alternative is in stock.

Example: We sell brake pads for bicycles and may have multiple options of pads from different vendors for the same brake type. If the customer is looking for the original brand but they are out of stock there could be a popup that says alternatives available that either shows the suitable alternatives or has a button to take you to a page that lists them.

On a similar vein, having the option to link items that are usually sold together, or may be required to make a certain item work would be great.

Example: We sell Bicycle lights which don't always come with batteries included so these items would automatically prompt the customer (online) or staff member (retail) with the option to purchase these items
