[wp-hackers] Custom content question

[Bill Erickson]

I'd recommend creating each as a custom post type, then using Posts 2 Posts
( http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/posts-to-posts/ ) to link them.

I built something similar for a client when needed, and later found the
plugin: http://www.billerickson.net/wordpress-post-type-linking/
