Hi All,

I've got a question ref linking postings in CMS. Here's the scenario:

I have a set of postings in a particular channel. These are simple
descriptive items - a title and some content. Kind of like a glossary.

I have created a custom control that presents these glossary items as a
CheckBoxList. Then, when the content author creates a new posting (say,
news article) he can indicate which glossary items relate to the news
item.

So, in effect, we have a one-to-many mapping between a news article and
zero or more glossary items.

Therefore, I can achive my desired one-way effect: When a customer reads
a news article, there is a list of associated glossary items that he can
click through to read.

However, I'm actually after a two-way effect. More of a many-to-many
mapping. So what I'd LIKE to be able to do is this:

A customer browses to a glossary item and is able to view all of the
news items that "link" to that glossary item.

Is that possible?

My first instinct would be to use some sort of corresponding custom
placeholder within my glossary posting that I can then programmatically
update when a new news item links to it. Does this seem reasonable?

Many thanks.
