Why not with second cursor ?
Second pane has popup with related tables (objPtr) and choosing a related
table will build second cursor (select */** from relatedtable where
recid=objptrfld) on the fly and show related recs depending on selection in
first record pane. Like in Vapp but with cursors. Valentina must be fast
enough to do so without waiting for recs, at least for the first 5-10 recs
depending on the size of the second area . 
Even things like show 'selected/show free' is possible
