[Feature] Add lookalikes to performer profiles
Hello, it's not currently possible to link lookalikes together in Stash.
It would be very interesting to add a feature that would make it possible to link performers who look alike, who resemble Hollywood stars, or others... The notion of look-alikes is quite common in the porn world.

Lookalike photos or performer cards should be visible on the profile. I could see this feature looking like the illustration below, with the possibility of adding other performers from the editing interface or from the main profile interface.
We could imagine a drop-down menu on the actresses page, showing images of look-alikes if available, and to avoid overloading not overload profile information. This could be the job of a plugin, but the storage of performer names in profiles should be managed by StashCore in the database, ideally with an autocomplete menu in a form, like stash does with tags.
If the main name of a performer changes, this would not be a problem since the completion field would be based on the performers' cards IDs like stash does with Tags. So a name change would not disrupt the operation
In this way the user will choose the performers he wants to link to a profile in the autocomplete form, and a plugin can possibly improve the display based on the names of the chosen performers, to embed their cards in a more precise way. ergonomic in the desired area of the profile.
I’m pretty sure these images still violate Github's terms and conditions. Best to blur the whole performer image to leave as much to the imagination as possible or find SFW photos of the performers to show.
Very niche FR. Could definitely fit within custom performer fields https://github.com/stashapp/stash/issues/885 (and following that, a plugin could add tab specific presentation).
This is not something that I'd consider for core stash functionality. This is more suited for a plugin.

Hello, I updated the feature request towards the end based on your advice
I agree with the use of a plugin and a custom field, but StashCore will have to manage the storage of performer card IDs with an autocomplete field like it does with tags. So that a plugin can use the values of this field to display the performer cards on the profile.
This could be resolved by offering in the custom fields functionality in 0.28, the possibility of adding autocompletion of stash data (performers, studios, scenes, etc.) as with tags.
I am also looking for the feature.
Just "look-a-like" as hardcoded core function is too niche indeed.
I prefer Performer-Relations. Link one performer with another (1:n). In that case @miltuss (and myself) could use it for lookalikes and our Movies/Series-Stash-Community for family relations like Charlie Sheen is the son of Martin Sheen. This could extended with customizable Relationship-Type (Example "son", "father", "look-a-like").
Sounds good to me, maybe with mini cards that pop up to show photos of linked performers as in the tab Appears With in a performer's profile
