I'd like to be able to refer to a lookup table wherever eg the organisation's departments (names will change, depts added or subtracted) are used - rules, categories, custom types...
Regards,
Natalie

It's a bit annoying having to create a fully-fledged content type for a
property like state or country. I've been toying with the idea of
introducing a "property" abstract class that would be used instead of
"types" that has less system attributes and is specifically aimed at these
sort of look up tables.
What do people think?
