Effortless Management of Linked Assets in Operational Technology: Enhancing Assembly and Monitoring in GLPI

In the area of operational technology (OT), machines are assembled from various parts.
I am looking for a way in GLPI to better manage this assembly.

I would like to have a feature that allows me to effortlessly link assets together and then view them as a cohesive unit. That is, when the state of one asset changes, the state and location of the other asset should automatically adjust. It should also be possible to display the information about the linked assets in the asset overview.

An example: we have many scales in our company and they consist of 2 parts. The weighing terminal and the scale part.
I would like to create these 2 parts as an asset and be able to link them to the functions mentioned. So if I change the position in the terminal, the position of the scale should change automatically.
If the scale is defective and I change the status, this should also happen with all parts that are attached to it.
If only the terminal is defective, it should also be possible to separate it just as easily and link it to a new asset.

Components are not suitable for this because I miss categories and cannot add new ones, and they are actually designed for multi-part items. I need the information of an asset for these parts. Components don't give me enough fields unless I add them through custom fields, but that's not the best way and Impact Analysis does not cover everything I need.
