The Solar Orbiter spacecraft, launched in February 2020, is equipped with both remote-sensing (RS) and in-situ (IS) instruments to record novel and unprecedented measurements of the solar atmosphere and the inner heliosphere. To take full advantage of these new datasets, we have developed tools and techniques to facilitate multi-instrument and multi-spacecraft studies. In particular the yet inaccessible low solar corona below 2 R can only be observed remotely and techniques must be used to retrieve coronal plasma properties in time and in 3-D space. These properties are useful to drive numerical models and test the different theories proposed to describe the fundamental processes of the solar atmosphere. In addition, the last decades of research have shown that the coupling between the solar corona and the heliosphere is most efficiently studied by combining RS with IS data. During one of the last Solar Orbiter remote sensing windows (March 2022), planned for the Solar Orbiter instruments, we ran complex observation campaigns to maximize the likelihood of linking IS data to their source region near the Sun, by directing some RS instruments to specific targets on the solar disk just days before data acquisition. We show how it is possible to achieve these results directed to improve our understanding of how heliospheric probes connect magnetically to the solar disk.
