If I have a work that is featured in the "where made" section of an argument record, I want that argument record to show up when I click on the "Mentions" button when looking at that work. It seems to me that work is mentioned in that argument record. But right now the Mentions button will not return that argument, because the where made field doesn't count as part of the argument record in this context. Maybe there's some reason I shouldn't want thus, but I can't think of one.

    The reason why Argument records don't have key works is because the "where made" field is its equivalent of a key work. Since records are generally considered to be "mentioners" of their key works, Arguments should be considered "mentioners" of their where-made works. This change will be in the next version. I went ahead and made is so that Misc File records "mention" their work records as well.
