At some point I think there was a "Reference" field that could be
user-defined.

That would be my suggestion. That way, you can use a field for FAG, and
someone else can use the same field for some DNA reference, or anything else
important to them. This fields would have no specific name other than User1,
User2, User3, etc. But you would know what each of those fields are used for.
I don't recall seeing any User Defined fields, but it is possible they already
exist?
Hope this was helpful.

Seems a good idea so I have submitted a request.
