Yes, the 'idrel' of RichtText and WIAB is the esence of the solution. The idea is that a relation does not merely point to a node, but to a certain XML-tag inside a field of a node. So, the 'id' of the relation corresponds to the 'id' of the tag. That is excactly what the 'richtext' example is doing (where for example 'urls' are linked to certain words in the text, marking them with an 'anchor'). The trouble remains how to user-friendly apply those id's. Btw, when connecting to 'rich' objects, you might need a relation with two id fields (a 'source' and a 'destination' id).
