Hi, I was wondering, if I want to create a reference between one table and multiple other tables. is this possible?
For example: Lets say I have an Uploads table and I want Users table to have uploads and Posts table to have uploads as well. Can this be done with exposed? I mean with the referencedOn and referrersOn functions

What kind of relation do you want to setup?
Users -> many uploads
Posts -> many uploads ?

yes

but referencing by just ID is not enough since the two tables ids can collide, so I was thinking of adding a type column but I can’t reference by two columns just one

Maybe it's worth to add UserToUploads and PostToUpload tables and link them with via ?

I can do that, but then If I want to add something else that has uploads then I will have to create a connecting table for it

The other way is to define something like:
