Related products could be so much more powerful - Improvement suggestions

[blackrat999]

There are numerous posts about related products in the forums so i just wanted to put my oar in to suggest that maybe this part of VM could be due an improvement upgrade in a later version? It is such an important part of upselling i feel it should be given a priority for improving.

I would love to see any of these as options and I expect others can think of more

1. related product is out of stock - do/do not show it
2. Automate x amount of random related products from category (select category drop down)
3. Select more than one item after typing in the related item box

It not only work for out of stock but:

-Show Free No, Yes or Only
-Stock : mini and maxi Stock

It's not for related product but help to prefilter all the products to render in your shop.
