The conditional operators like GeomWithin / GeomIntersects are powerful tools, it would be great if we could also have a GeomNearest operator, for when the two entities don't intersect but we would still like to link them.
If it could be done we would want to be able to set a maximum distance within which the entities could be considered neighbours, also to be able to use intersect first, then nearest for the remainder.
It would be straightforward when relating points to points, but when relating points to lines or polygons you would want the relationship to be calculated from the part of the line or polygon that is closest to the relatable entity, not necessarily the nearest vertex or the end points.
Hi, thanks for the idea. This has been raised before and is a useful suggestion, I'll link these up for reference
