I have thought about this and have come to the conclusion that there
aren't really any viable options for implementing this.

One solution would be to look for some suitable metadata in the feed
entries/items (dc:relation seems like a good candidate). The downside
of this solution is that it requires changes to all the software which
produces RSS feeds, so it is not likely become widespread.

Another option would be to use rel="tag" property of the "a" element.
Nixtape, however would have to parse the content of each post for
links which link to the site etc. The journal author probably would
also sometimes rather link to the official site of the artist than the
artist's page on libre.fm. There are some other issues with this
approach as well.

If anyone has better ideas, I'd like to hear about them.
