Browsing the web a little, I found several resources on references in JCR /
Jackrabbit, leaving me with two options to consider:
(a) Use "references"; following [1] which outlines that at least this is
possible somehow. Asides not yet having figured out how to get this done
correctly, some of the drawbacks outline in [1] sound sane enough to think
twice.
(b) Use some "reference property" in order to, in a node, keep some UUID or
path or whatever telling where to find the actual content.

Actually, from a Unix system point of view, I think that *hard* links
should come to mind first.
The equivalent of them have been introduced in JCR 2.0 as "shareable
nodes", so you can experiment with them in Jackrabbit trunk already.
