Linking of sharepoint lists cross-referenced
I'm still struggling with this, anyone who could give some clue on how to achieve this linking?
fietstasss I suggest doing this with Power Apps.

- Could you clarify on this? How would PowerApps help me in saving these multiple vendor+uniqueInfo per product?
Thanks!fietstasss because you can have multiple data sources - the 2 SharePoint lists in your scenario. Then with a gallery or data table you can select the item from the first list and filter the second list by your selection. Much like Access used to do.

I get your point, but the issue is that we need some kind of 3rd data/info to be stored.
At the 'crossing point' between a Vendor and Product, we want to store info like the Vendor-specific retail-id/purchase number, and perhaps also the price and URL they use for this product.
This means that 1 product can have multiple vendors, with each their own price, retail-id and URL/weblink.
Plain said, i should make a new list for each product which then lists all combinations applicable for that product, containing the available vendors with each their own dataset (containing retail-id, price, URL).
Another option would be to add a fixed number of columns to each product in the 'ProductList' to make it possible to list each vendor and their dataset, but this would result in a limited number of vendors per product.
Both don't seem a valid option, so there's the gap i'm looking for to fill in.
Hope this makes the option a bit clearer, any help is appreciated!
