I have a dilemma which I run into fairly frequently.  I make a lot of 
insertHTML files to make it simple for clients to add linked content on 
their sites.  However, a lot of times I need to dynamically link to 
another node in a secondary nav tree.  Let me explain what I'm working 
on right now...

I have a secondary nav tree under root that looks like this:

Media
-Quicktime VRs
--VR Test 1
-Flash
--Flash Test 1

The Quicktime VRs are interactive .mov files and the Flash files are 
standard .swf files with rolling photo albums.  There is a media page 
with several images which are links to pop open new windows to display 
the content.  Each image needs to link to a new page.  The problem is 
that I can't figure out a way to dynamically link to the correct page 
and was hoping that someone might have a solution.  How would I create a 
single insertHTML file that understands which dmHTML page to open in the 
popup window?  Is this even the most effective way to accomplish this? 

My client this time wanted it this way, so this is what I did.  My only 
other thought was to create a handler file (popup.cfm) or something and 
pass it the object ID and type of the object being displayed.  Then I 
would have several custom queries to obtain the correct data and would 
eventually embed the object.

No big deal, really, I'm just curious if anyone else has run into this 
same type of situation and how you solved the problem.
