Well, regardless of whether or not you use listeners, you still
need to create the data relationship. I don't think encoding the
relationships into 25 listeners is necessarily a good idea, either.
An associative array, indexed by ID, could store the IDs of the
other list items that are related, all in a single data structure.
So for instance:
listRelationships["itemID1"] = ["itemID2", "itemID3"];
listRelationships["itemID2"] = ["itemID1"];
listRelationships["itemID3"] = ["itemID2"];
This allows you to store arbitrary relationships between each list
item. When a list item is moused over, just grab listRelationships
[itemID] and you will get a corresponding array of list items to
highlight.

That sounds a bit more like where I'm at. Not that I've used
associative arrays before, but they're basically the same as property
lists in Lingo right?
In your above example, wont I still need a listRelationships
["itemID1"] = [whatever] line for each item I'm wanting to reference?
Or have I totally misunderstood what's going on there?
