Altium - how to add a single library component with multiple part numbers on BOM

[ARQuattr]

I want to create a SCHLIB component and PCBLIB footprint for a connector which is purchased as multiple components. They sell the contacts separately from the housing so I want to have a single component show up with two part numbers on the BOM. I was originally going to create two components, one for each part, but then I run into problems with the footprints since the two parts are assembled and integrated with each other. Is there a way around this in Altium where I can create a component that is actually an assembly of more than one BOM item? The best thing I can think of would be to make the housing a 'mechanical' type, and the footprint for the contact would include both the contact and housing. Is there a better approach?

Thanks

Not that I know of. I've often wanted to do the same thing for a number of reasons fitting an M3 Screw that requires washer or two and a pillar. We have a sundries sheet on the schematic that hold all of these things. In your case it would be the connector pins.

Sorry It's not better news.
