Research direction

No file or test is named. Start by locating the documentation section covering relations, default values, and overlay_* expressions, then verify the point-in-polygon workflow in QGIS. Done means documenting how to configure the relation reference field so a point automatically receives its parent polygon's UUID.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Use case: when recording a point within a polygon, they can be automatically joined using relations, so that there is no need to manually select the parent feature.

This can be done using default values for relation reference field / using an expression (overlay_* functions) that finds parent feature based on the position of the point and then use its uuid as default value.
