Aug 11, 2020 at 14:32 comment added physician Thank you very much, it's very clear now. Indeed part of the question was meant to ask "how to think of this property conceptually". Triangulated categories seems to be the answer as you very nicely explain. (I doubt I would've gotten that suggestion on SE :) )
Aug 10, 2020 at 23:04 comment added Marco Farinati I have expanded my answer, I hope it helps. Just as final comment, this is more an ME question than an MO one :)

Aug 10, 2020 at 21:20 comment added physician Please check the edit to the original question where I've clarified some of the ambiguities. $g, h$ are specific maps.
Aug 10, 2020 at 7:16 comment added D.-C. Cisinski Sure, the direction you suggest is the right one!

Aug 10, 2020 at 1:41 comment added Marco Farinati Well, I didn 't check everything.. may be my answer lack of some coherence. In any case, Í think the question should definitely be directioned to the language of the homotopy category as a triangulated one. Plade take my answer a
Aug 9, 2020 at 23:58 comment added D.-C. Cisinski I disagree: it would look like a reasonable statement if 1. meant "there exists $f:A\to B$ such that the cone of $f$ is chain homotopic to $C$". But, since $f$ is given a priori, and since there are no relations between $f$ and the data appearing in conditions 2. or 3., there is no way we may prove that these statements are equivalent. Condition 2. or 3. could be true with $f=0$, for instance.
