[Resolved] Nested View inside View of related posts

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem: I have a View of related posts in an M2M relationship. In that View, I would like to display related posts from a different M2M relationship.

Solution: Create a Content Template for the original related posts View and insert it in the View's loop using a shortcode. Then use the Block Editor to create the nested View of related posts from another M2M relationship.

Example Content Template shortcode:

[wpv-post-body view_template="your-template-slug" item="@relationship-slug.parent"]

I have two M2M post relationships between Artists and Products - "Performing On" and "Release Artist". In the Content Template for Artists, I have a View showing related Products in the Performing On relationship. In the results of that View, I would like to display related Artists from the other relationship, "Release Artist". How can I set this up?

I gave this a go, starting with a legacy View - and didn't get past establishing the Query Filter... so I definitely do need help with this...

To preserve Block Editor editing capabilities as much as possible, I've created this View directly in the Blocks Content Template I created here:
hidden link
You can edit this View completely in the Block Editor now, since I've included this Content Template in the Collaborations View in a way that sets the related Product post context correctly. I've created a basic design for you and set up the post relationship filter correctly, so that the Artist(s) from the Related Artists relationship for the current Product is displayed in the results. Feel free to make modifications to the View directly in the Block Editor for this Content Template.
