[wp-hackers] Time for a wp_post_relationships table?

We've approached one of latest projects with this exact method and I'm glad
we did because a post-meta option was a possible option.

We have about 10 post-types and a single taxonomy called 'nexus' that allows
us to connect any of our posts with each other. The purpose for the
connections is to build a custom menu of affiliated/associated posts. Also,
since we're using simple post titles for terms I've built a function that
uses wp_set_object_terms to automatically create the first affiliation on
publish.

If you want to know more I'm willing to share but it seems as though this
conversation is already heading in the right direction ( IMO ).
