You're describing himWhile that's a non-wessen/wessen relationship, PB also added that he would like them to be "Just some characters that randomly appear one episode", so I think he wants a pre-existing wessen/non-wessen relationship rather than one develop on the show (i.e., with Hank, we saw/will see the relationship come about).
When I remember it right, Monroe called humans like that "Schlich-kennen".
Personally, I think any future wessen Hank relationship is a really terrible idea (and think that the Adalind/Hank relationship wasn't a particularly good one either), and I don't think PB's idea would work either, but unlike with Hank's relationships, there is the possibility. I think you'd need one of the following facts.
1. The non-wessen would need to be a Kehrseite-Schlich-Kennen (kinda of like Hank), but with a more in-depth knowledge of the wessen world. I'm not sure if Royals qualify as Kehrseite-Schlich-Kennen, but the casual sex between Eric and Adalind is one example of such a non-wessen/wessen relationship.
2. If the non-wessen is not a Kehrseite-Schlich-Kennen, then the wessen would likely need to have some power over the non-wessen partner for the relationship to "work" (e.g., I could see a ziegevolk being married to a non-wessen).
While I think this is interesting territory for the writers to explore, each of the two above scenarios has very specific problems. For (1) above, other than Royals, it would be difficult to develop/explain the non-wessen on the show. Kehrseite-Schlich-Kennen aren't particularly common after all, except where Royalty is concerned. So, the non-wessen would pretty much need to be a regular or extended cast member.
With (2) above, you start getting into uncomfortable awkward territory for viewing audiences. Also, like with (1) you have to explain many facts with very limited screentime.
