I have two tables:

  1. Documents
  2. Project task

What I am looking for is the following:

  • I have a page with project tasks in a hierarchy list (done)
  • Clicking on a task will open an edit screen (done)
  • In this screen, I want a list with all documents belonging to this task
  • The documents table is not deployed on the same site (look-up columns seem to require this)

How can I create a list in the edit page with all documents, belonging to the task? Is this possible with look-up columns or is there another way to achieve this?

Thank you for your time

Did you try to use Sparqube Lookup? It supports to lookup documents from another site or even cross site collection. http://www.sparqube.com/SharePoint-Lookup-Column/.
