Russ,
Let me try to clarify my process.
You stated: “From the People Workspace, Family View, there isn't a "New Media". In the RH Panel, is some information on the selected person in the Center Panel.”
From the People Workspace, I see in the left panel my listing of family members. I highlight my father’s name, in the middle panel I see how he fits into the family tree, in the right hand panel I see his name at the top and how he relates to the home person. Below his name, is a tool bar with four icons, Facts, Media, Notes, and Tasks.
I click on the Media, and below that is an icon, new, ad media. Clicking on this I download a new media, say his obituary. It then shows in the middle panel on the right. Moving the cursor over the media image, it says linked via person to my father.
I then go to the Source Workspace and create a source citation, say the newspaper from where the media was taken, and create the source citation. Then using Media tab under add source citation I link the obituary to the source citation by using Link to existing media.
When I then switch back to the People Workspace, Family View, I have two obituaries shown in the middle right hand side. The other one now, when you hold the cursor over the media image says, linked via source citation. Should duplicates show up, I do not know.
I will need to analysis your other suggestions, as I have not tried them that way yet. Maybe there is a more refined method to get me to the final end result I am trying to achieve.
Thanks for your suggestions…………………..Ron
