Do you mean like authority records? From memory I've only worked with people records that have a related record (as a donor, maker, etc) in purely Collx Management Systems, except for projects that have used the CollxMS to store thematic records, which in some cases have included people. I can't see any reason why you can't have people authorities that aren't related to collection items, but perhaps I'm misunderstanding your premise?
