Hi Cyrus, thanks for the reply. Perhaps down the road there could be the option to include one or more related resources of any type during the creation of a single resource. I remember that the drag and drop document inclusion automatically creates a new document resource in addition (and related) to the resource that was originally being created. Maybe the same underlying concept could be applied to any number of new resources in a more programmatic, less UI way. I have a feeling I'll need to learn a lot more PostGIS/SQL...
