Crossing symmetry is a well known relation between scattering amplitudes of particles and of their antiparticles.  I will argue that similar relations for higher-point scattering processes exist which involve generalized amplitudes. These novel objects differ from usual amplitudes by relaxing the time-ordering symbol but often reduce to familiar observables such as inclusive cross-sections or waveforms.  I will discuss the physical interpretation of these objects and exemplify some new crossing relations.  Based on 2308.02125 and 2310.12199.
