Hi,
My sincere thanks to Andreas, jcc, and Dieter for the great suggestions.
It looks like one of these products will certainly fill my needs.

In principle, the ZODB allows you to place the same
object into arbitrary many containers.

Keep in mind however, that apart from the ZODB all other
parts of Zope treat the copies as different: the have
different URLs, different "PhysicalPath"s, may report
(the same modification) to different catalogs (in this case,
only a single catalog is informed, not all as you probably would like).

Andreas already told you about my "Reference" products.
There is also a "Symlink" product of Shane.
And there is the "PortableHole" product that maps a complete
folder onto a different location.

No solution is completely satisfactory...

As I recall, there's PortableHole and a few others. Look at zope.org.

[Zope] same object in different containers

[gf]

Hi,
I am interested in having the same object appear as the child of two
different containers. These containers may distant from each other in
the object hierarchy.
In particular, I autogenerate a list of subtopics (child folders) for
several areas of my website, but would like a certain folder to appear
in more that one listing because it can be classified in multiple
ways.
Is there a way to accomplish this? Is there anything in Zope like a
symbolic link?

Thank you for any advice or hints that you can provide.

Best Regards,
gyro
