Okay, you're talking about the disposal of an intermediate table. Thus
it's a virtual m:n relationship.

This is already possible and called "combined mode". It's possible to
edit the relationship itself (table person_company) and the related
child record itself (table person) at the same time. A side-effect would
be that it's possible to change existing child records which are related
to other parents.

Please have a look at the "IRRE Tutorial" or the diploma thesis and
search for the section "Appearance settings for TCEforms" and
furthermore for "Use combinded mode for complex relational editing".

You can try the following direct link to the IRRE Tutorial, but I don't
know if the link stays the same if I change the documentation next time:
http://typo3.org/documentation/document-library/extension-manuals/irre_tutorial/0.1.5/view/1/2/#id3488675

What exactly do you mean? It is possible to handle more relationships.
Can you give a short example please?
