Scott, I am not a cataloger, but I work a lot with authorities in EG. I am a little confused by your questions. Again this may be because I am not a cataloger.
If you are referring to be able to see a "see also" entries when using "manage authorities," I think that cannot be currently done. If catalogers add "see" (auth tag 4xx) or "see also" (auth tag 5xx), the data will be stored, but it is not displayed in manage authority search results. I started creating a proof of concept code for adding this functionality, but I don't know enough to achieve this behavior at this point. I have hopes to someday add this to EG, with the help of others. If you want patrons to see a see also reference, if you take the correct steps it will be seen with patrons that use the "browse the catalog" search feature. Some of the steps required for that include running a recurring script to link bibs to authority records, and another script to link authorities to each other. Of course you will also need to have added the relevant 5xx tag info on the record in question. This is all simplified, but I am hoping to help you out a bit.
