Transfer found set between two layouts that have different table occurrence, but same base table?

Let's say I have a table:

 

 Table A

 

And two different Table Occurrences (TOs) that refer to this base table:

 

  T1

  T2

 

Now, if I have a layout that shows records from T1, is there any easy way to transfer this found set to another layout that is based on T2, without creating an explicit relationship between T1 and T2?

 

If I just use "Go To Layout" to switch between them, each one is keeping its own found set.

 

Help?

 

I thought I was being clever by creating new TOs to keep my relationships graph simple, but I'm now finding that I designed myself into a corner.

There is a little FileMaker trait that you can try and use. Use a GTRR ( showing related records only )  to T1, but have it go to your T2 layout when you choose the layout in the GTRR. This should bring the found set over.

That works great!  Thank you.

 

I think I was trying to use "Get Related Record From: "  T2, which was not working at all.
