Attaching more than 1 parent (Post) to a media file

Im trying to build a Digital Album website for my family old pictures and albums. I crated a custom post type via Pods called "Family Members" and crated something like 30 Posts / Pages with the family members full names.

Now.. Im trying to upload a new image to my media library and can attach only one Page / Post (In my case it's a family member)to each media file (Image)

I want to attach more than 1 post (More than 1 Family Member) to each image that i uploaded. so for example if i'll upload a picture of 2 people toghter i can attach the specific image to both of them. Wordpress is limited me to 1 only.

how can i change it to multiple selection?

Thank you very much guys! Maor.

Posts/attachments can only have a single parent post, this is because the posts parent is a single column value in the posts table. This cannot be changed without making major modifications to WordPress core itself, and would introduce other unforeseen problems due to ambiguity.

Instead, if you want to group things by family member, you should use a taxonomy named family_member or something to that effect. Taxonomies are how you're meant to organise and group content.

How you would integrate that into the Pods selection UI in your question however, is a subject beyond the scope of this stack, you need to ask in Pods communities or Pods support
