Ok thank you I understand. I think I may have to find another way rather than keeping a persistent record of every document received locally using a specific . Perhaps including the full dictionary of the 'source' document within the 'object' document until another solution comes to light. I think it could get very messy otherwise. Alternatively perhaps I could use CouchQuery's linked document functionality in my view as mentioned below to retrieve 'source' document data when querying 'object' documents.
