That's quite nice. Do both fields have to be paired for it to work, or can it be a 1-way pairing? For example, a record must always include 8xx (more accurately: 800, 810, 811, or 830) if 490 1\ is present, but if an 8xx is present, justification of that 8xx can be in 490 or 500 (or potentially elsewhere). So, could you say "paired\t8xx", but not have "paired\t490", and how would this work when you want to pair with multiple possible fields rather than 1-to-1? Is it possible to specify that you only want the pairing to happen in association with certain indicators (490 1\, but not 490 0\)?
