How are relative clauses marked up? (or tree'd down?)

They seem like a potential candidate for some sort of co-indexing support.

At the very least it would be nice to mark the role of the pronoun both within the relative clause AND in relation to its antecedent.

Antecedents often cross sentence boundaries, e.g.

                        + ἐν καιρῷ ἐσχάτῳ.   (: sentence ends :)
(id=1Pet.1.6)
+ ἐν ᾧ 
v ἀγαλλιᾶσθε, 

Do we need a more general approach to references (anaphoric and cataphoric? Should this be implemented as an extension or as part of the core language?

I don't have a solution to this problem, but I agree with jtauber: "At the very least it would be nice to mark the role of the pronoun both within the relative clause AND in relation to its antecedent." While this may be difficult to do, it is fundamental to correctly understanding the text.

Some concrete examples from John 2 I'd like to know how to treedown:

v ἐπίστευσαν
o τῇ γραφῇ καὶ τῷ λόγῳ [ὃν εἶπεν ὁ Ἰησοῦς].
v.part θεωροῦντες
?? αὐτοῦ
o τὰ σημεῖα [ἃ ἐποίει]·

Another one with τί rather than a relative pronoun:

cj >
    s αὐτὸς
    cj* γὰρ
    v ἐγίνωσκεν
    o τί ἦν ἐν τῷ ἀνθρώπῳ.
