I have been working on providing the most accurate relationship types for our applications and we have one app (App A) that shows other apps (App X, App Y & App Z) in an iframe. In this case, the app doesn't depend on the other and it doesn't really receive data either, it provides a place to view that data. Without App X through Z App A will still work but you wouldn't be able to view App X because there is a problem with App X.
Looking for feedback on how others have handled such scenarios.

Is the relationship even needed? I can understand the need for it, if you can only use application A to see the others. That would mean that an issue with App A causes your users to be unable to use the other apps.
Think about this: are you adding all cloud applications as related to your laptops, because the laptop can be used to see that cloud application through the use of a browser?
A uses::used by relationship could work, if you really need the relationship (if application A is needed to see the rest).
Please mark any helpful or correct solutions as such. That helps others find their solutions.

It is needed because the information from application X, Y or Z is PII so we have to identify all of the applications that transmit or store PII. Application A falls into the scope of the auditors because it shows PII.
Also, if App A goes down the users that only view App X, Y or Z from App A may not have access to that information unless they get access directly to App X, Y or Z or they have a workaround.
