This workaround would be ok for a restricted set of
cases, but in a lot of applications you really would
need to have something equivalent to a full symbolic
link. Otherwise you would need to copy an article
to a number of topic locations, which is certainly
undesirable from the viewpoint of document maintenance,
or alternatively have some more complex referencing
methods outside of the built-in Midgard utilities.
I find that when working with Midgard you tend to
look at it as a filesystem with a web front-end
that allows you to easily express content and manage
access. Seems to me that a lot of the applications
that are associated with this viewpoint really need
to have symbolic links or the equivalent to support
things like cross-referenced lists.
