Does turn-restriction plugin provide a special relation editor? That's the 
only one I could think of. The idea to provide specialized relation 
editors was never fully implemented. Also the presets contain information 
about layout of relations and their members which is not used as much as 
it could. Much to improve :-)

If you will implement something in this area, create JOSM bug reports 
containing patches when core adaptions are needed. As you may know JOSM's 
plugin interface is always work in progress.
