I have a Notes client application where users need to be able to link associated documents.
My thoughts were to have an embedded view which would be sorted and categorized by a hidden multi-valued field called LinkedIDs. This would store all the Unique IDs of documents which were linked and be displayed in the view.
Is this the best/correct approach?
Thanks.

That way, a single document could be related to several sets of interrelated documents, it would be easy to relate documents (just drag them to a folder), and technically much, much less difficult to code/maintain!

Hi Terry, the issue is, is that the users want to be able to view all Related (Linked) documents within a document. Therefore, document x may be linked to doc y,z and a for arguements sake. Agree a relationship could be created in folders but don’t think this will give the user the solution they are looking for.
