having finally worked my way through that (very interesting) thread,  
i'd like to slightly revise my reply in saying that i'm +1 for  
including the "simple" solution, and -1 on the "referenced content  
portlet".  that's because i think this should — as mentioned before —  
be approached in a more generic way and hopefully make it into 4.0.   
introducing such a portlet now just to completely obsolete it again  
for 4.0 would be confusing and therefore doesn't really make sense to  
me.

however, if martin has code ready for this, or nearly ready, it could  
of course be turned into a possibly very helpful add-on for the time  
being.

cheers,
