What is the actual business meaning of the relationships between the documents? And is there something in the document that indicates this relationship, just not with the doc URI?

Hi, I need to store references from one document to another. The mechanism is generic and cannot be tied to a particular type of document. It is then difficult to store the reference inside the document. What looks like a perfect solution is to use a metadata with a specific name, the value of which is the URI of the target document. With a field on that metadata, I can search for the source of any target URI. But some documents can point to several URIs. And as far as I can tell, it is not possible to have several values for a given metadata (on the same document). Any idea how I can store such references without requiring modifying the content of the documents? As I would like the references to "live" with the source doc, I would like to avoid using managed triples. The closest I can think of is to use the metadata to store several URIs in one string, using a separator, and have TDE to expose as many triples as there are URIs. But I am not definitely sure I can access metadata in TDE (and loop over tokenize($value, '|') to create several triples). Am I missing anything obvious?
