They might be *a* solution.  Reference properties would act alot
like Unix symbolic links.  You could also create the moral equivalent
of hard links, by simply doing Python assignments or 
ObjectManager._setObject calls.  Or you could use some sort of
clever psuedo container as is done (in different ways) with 
Z Tables or SQL Methods.
