This was one of the original use cases for the Horde/Content  
application. To provide a "relationship" service linking arbitrary  
horde application objects to each other. Development on Content sort  
of stalled after the tagging service was completed. My vote would be  
to implement this via Content, thus making it easier to link ANY  
application objects in the future with (hopefully) minimal work.  
Perhaps we could even leverage/improve/steal the existing object  
browser code to provide a way to help locate an existing object we  
would like to link to.
