I am creating a new company directory which will hopefully be a little more
dynamic than our current one. I have planned to use the person records to
store as much information about each person as possible, but in some cases I
need to use the homepage field to specify a separate page for additional
information. As I understand it, the homepage field contains a URL that
points to another web page. I'm wondering if it is possible to have it point
to an article.

For example, our sales people currently have a page that lists all of their
names, plus some brief information about each of them, such as title,
territory, phone, fax, and email. Their name is a link to a biography page
for each of them which lists their contact information again, plus a short
(1 to 2 paragraph) biography. I was thinking about making this biography an
article to (hopefully) make it a little easier to let them maintain their
own information. I am currently using the extra (description) field to store
the person's title, as there is no "title" field (Could one be added?),
which is why I need the additional page for the biography.

How can I structure the homepage URL so that it references the correct
biography, preferably by name.html instead of id.html?

Or, if anyone has a suggestion on a better way to create the company
directory, I would be more than happy to hear it.

Thanks!

Dion
