Seems like a good idea. When the DataController is instantiated, it can look for relationships on the sql_class and instantiate child DataControllers to handle those. (The UI could be updated to look for those other relationships and provide links and UI for dealing with them.) > (And yes, I know the current DataController doesn't allow indexing by > alternate IDs, but that'll be fixed soon.) Cool. That was definitely something I had in mind. (I don't know if you saw all of those messages about slugs, but that was somewhat related to this.) Kevin
