homepage field contains text string (255 characters long). You could use
it for other info too, of course, though there are several problems
might occur in a future. For example, if homepage is used for storing
article ID, then Repligard wouldn't know about it and doesn't fetch
linked article (but it will do so with topic or subtopic fields). And
this might be solution: use topic and subtopic fields for storing IDs of
topics with related articles.

Yes, topic and subtopic fields will work here nicely!
