report show records without links when bringing in linked records

When creating a report including linked records, the main record in the report will only show if the records have the relevant links.

This makes it challenging to build reports including record links but also see records that do not have those links.

When building a report using record links, the records from the main record type only show up in the report if they have the links. I would like to have functionality more like reporting on epics and features where if the main record type doesn't have any links you still get an item in the report for that record and then blank columns if there is no linked record.
